A theory I might have about this is that - AI doesn’t expand total available cognitive load bearing.
I find that I like AI because it makes it easier and more fun to do my job. Faster to fix tech debt, refactor, add tests, gather data. But I can’t act on that many more domains than before.
AI makes easier problems easier but it puts you in contact with that many more hard problems.
