It's right, AI does require giving up control and letting things be done differently, depends how much you really use it.

It's the same when you get a junior dev to work on things, it's just not how you would do it yourself and frequently wrong or naive. Sometime is brilliant and better than you would have done yourself.

That doesn't mean don't have junior devs, but having one doesn't mean you don't have to do corrective stuff and refinements to their work.

Most of us aren't changing the world with our code, we're contributing an incredibly small niche part of how it works. People (normal people, lol) only care what your system does for them, not how it works or how great the code is.
