There is a real question of if a more productive developer with AI is actually what the market wants right now. It may actually want something else entirely, and that is people that can innovate with AI. Just about everyone can be "better" with AI, so I'm not sure if this is actually an advantage (the baselines just got lifted for all).

I don't know if this is true. It's good for some things... Learning something new or hashing out a quick algorithm or function.

But I've found it leads to lazy behaviour (by me admittedly) and buggier code than before.

Everytime I drop the AI and manually write my own code it is just better.
