Are we offloading too much of our thinking to AI?

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.
