The problem with this discussion is we are conflating artistic value with economic value. A music video can be valuable as art, but it can also be valuable as a tool for promotion or for generating revenue. If the goal is pure economic efficiency then an AI has the potential to create a music video more efficiently than a human. If the goal is to produce something that makes people feel some kind of emotion then AI will work against you. The same goes for code. I use AI to write code that I'm not precious about but if I want to feel proud of my work, you can be sure I'll write it by hand.

No one ever said anything remotely like that about software development 10 years ago.

Do you feel your coding skills atrophying as you write less code?

Do you plan to mitigate that or just let them slide?

They have the same sentiment also now. I expect when you not write code at all you aren't more productive than before or producing unmaintainable shit. Sorry bro, most of the time it needs more text to explain the AI which small fault she has done compared with just fixing it self. So when you don't code at all, you either lose time by explaining this issues a guy that never learns or you just ignore them.

I don't rememeber that sentiment being expressed much in the past about programming.

I do notice a lot more bugs these days, a lot more slop code and a lot more complaints about slop code.

Your code is slop. Probably was before as well. At least now it's consistent slop.
