Everyone has different objective and subjective experiences, and I suspect some form of selection will promote those who more often feel excited and relieved by using AI than those who feel it more often a negative, like it challenges some core aspect of self.

It might challenge us, and maybe those of us who feel challenged in that way need to rise to it, for there are always harder problems to solve

If this new tool seems to make things so easy it's like "cheating", then make the game harder. Can't cheat reality.

Without AI, I have been in a company where the general mentality was to "ship bad software but quickly". Without going into the debate of whether it was profitable in the long term or not (spoiler: it was not), my problem was the following:

I would try to build something "good" (not "perfect", just "good", like modular or future-proof or just not downright malpractice). But while I was doing this, others would build crap. They would do it so fast I couldn't keep up. So they would "solve" the problems much faster. Except that over the years, they just accumulated legacy and had to redo stuff over and over again (at some point you can't throw crap on top of crap, so you just rebuild from scratch and start with new crap, right?).

All that to say, I don't think that AIs will help with that. If anything, AIs will help more people behave like this and produce a lot of crap very quickly.
