Not sure what CNCs are but table saws and 3d printers still require thinking, planning, guiding by the operator.

I know I know you're going to say (or simonw will) that effective and responsible use of LLM coding agents also requires those things, but in the real world that just isn't what's happening.

I am witnessing first hand people on my team pasting in a jira story, pressing the button and hoping for the best. And since it does sometimes do a somewhat decent job, they are addicted.

I literally heard my team lead say to someone "just use copilot so you don't have to use your brain". He's got all the tools- windsurf, antigravity, codex, copilot- just keeps firing off vibe coded pull requests.

Our manager has AI psychosis, says the teams that keep their jobs will be the ones that move fastest using AI, doesn't matter what mess the code base ends up in because those fast moving teams get to move on to other projects while the loser slow teams inherit and maintain the mess.
