I no longer use AI assistant

I agree with the fact that AI assistant are fast. They get job done while writing code or tests. The reason I don't like it because they have no soul. One should write code because one love to write code. AI assistant will make us dumb as a programmer if we keep on blindly using it.

Since the first day I consider AI as a noob working very fast and always making errors. My main usage is for tedious and non-critical tasks such as boilerplates. And I always review what has been generated like a merge/pull request, because in a sense that's what it is. What reinforces my opinion are papers like these : https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05746 https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.11817
