This seems to be a common narrative, but TBH I don't really see it. Where is all the amazing output from this godlike power? It certainly doesn't seem like tech is suddenly improving at a faster pace. If anything, it seems to be regressing in a lot of cases.
Agreed. Mostly, what has occurred is I now have to field a lot more PRs that weren't well thought out (let's be honest, there was no thought), and - my personal favorite - argue with an AI via a human, where they post an AI's opinion on what I said as a reply. I've started just asking them to post links to documentation validating their claims.

Or get laid off. That works too.
So, tackle other problems. You can now do things you couldn't even have contemplated before. You've been handed a near-godlike power, and all you can do is complain about it?
