I think there is something happening here and whats needed is your own independent opinions of the technology. I think a lot of people dont like the idiots hyping the tech up and the incessant nonsense. Thats what turns them away from AI. But its a very useful bit of technology and your relationship to it should be direct with no middlemen.

So if you want to work and adopt AI, make your own workflows. Interact directly with ChatGPT or even the API as opposed to learning cursor shortcuts or Lovable prompts.

I use AI very frequently and I love to spell out my thinking and even have AI critique it. Once done, I generate code in phases to save typing. I dont think anything will replace software engineers but engineers with more knowledge will replace those with less. You have to snatch that knowledge. Moronic VCs and tool vendors wont help, direct involvement will.
