There are definitely real engineers being strongly anti-AI. The problem, in my opinion, is that they just didn’t really try working with them.
They’re incredibly powerful tools, and they don’t only amplify bad developers, they amplify every developer that really tries to work with it.
The mistake people make is delegating the decision making to the AI. Let the tool be a tool, not a brain. You architect, you design, you order, it writes the code. You review the code. There you go, you have a pretty good quality code, better than most devs will produce, following your design and architecture, you controlled the entire decision making, and you did it in 5x less time.
I also think that it has become too useful to disappear in engineering.

I fully agree with your take. Thank you :)
