When I was a senior software engineer, I was offered a management position… I said no, because I knew I would hate it and do a terrible job. I actually like programming, and I absolutely hate asking an A.I. to do it for me.
Actually funny story. Or maybe unfunny. I was doing a web project a while ago, and the host site I was trying out asked me to describe my project. I naïvely did so, thinking it was like a description or something. When I hit next, the site A.I. automatically did my entire project for me. All the code, folder structures, API calls, everything.
I just sat there feeling bad feelings for a while. I think it actually made me a bit depressed. Took all the joy out of the project and I never touched it again.
I had the same experience. I was doing a little home project to improve my Rust programming skills and my understanding of a couple of algorithms. I asked the AI to wire up the command line arguments so I could move on to the more interesting bits. It got carried away, rewrote my code, fixed the bugs and finished the whole project. I just sat there feeling disappointed. It was like someone telling you how a movie turns out just as you’re settling in with your popcorn.

That sounds awful
