Programming was a chess for me. AI is a chess engine. For sure, i cared about winning (i.e. deliver product), but i have zero enjoyment from winning if i used a chess engine

Somehow, a lot of people can't understand me. Seems like 90% of programmers hate chess. They only enjoyed winning. Sad thing is, now every "guy bagging groceries" can win, what is exactly your value?

I think the same way and act like it. I'm forced to deliver with AI in my job but what's delivered is utter garbage. Worst of all, now everyone think and behave the way like they are Magnus Carlson.
