I do daily. So far I am doing fine, not sure what exactly your point is, sorry.

Same here.

If anything, I think most here outsource too little thinking to AI.

What am I supposed to be afraid of? Losing skills I no longer need to get the job done?

Yea, kinda agree. I feel like my job just changed into a solution architect and quality assurance inspector.

"Solution architect" sounds like a fancy term for a glorified button-pusher. At this point you're making yourself interchangeable with a bunch of other low-skill button-pushers.

Why should anyone ever hire you? We'll just hire the LLM you use.

By the time the LLM operates autonomously without my input, I doubt your chances for employment are going to be any better than mine.

For one, as of today SOTA LLMs sometimes take the wrong decisions

For me thinking and making decisions are two different things. I rarely let AI decide, unless it's something i do in my private time. But at work, I am the expert and I maximum let AI give me options, but I decide.
