> This is the part that bugs me with AI usage is that it drives the use of it to benefit the company but not the individual. Yes AI allows me to be faster as work (in theory), but as a result I lose out in my own learning as an employee, I lose out in my own cognitive ability to learn, make mistakes and build upon my knowledge and skills.

Your well-being and self-improvement is not a priority for your capitalist employer, especially given ideological changes over the past 70 or so years. They would just as rather use you up, throw you away, and replace you with something else, if that was more convenient for them.

Isn't it wonderful to be on your own? Remember that next time someone talks about starting a union.

I agree to an extent, however for the most part your experience and ability to do your job to date has been how you differentiate yourself and provide value.

AI has eroded that value enormously

Yep, that's precisely what it's for, and no one should forget that.
