>"How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?"

For me personally - beautifully. Saves me a ton of time. Keep in mind however that I am an old fart who was originally scientist in physics, started programming with entering machine codes and designed electronics to facilitate research and after moving to Canada switching to programming completely. So I understand how everything works starting from the very bottom and am able to see good stuff from the bullshit in what I get from AI.

I however have no idea how would youngsters train their brains when they would not have any solid foundations. I think there is a danger of collapse with people having answers to all the questions but with zero ability to validate those and the AI itself degenerating into noise as a result of more and more being able to train off it's own results.

Or the AI will eventually have intelligence, motivation and agency.

Either way we are fucked.
