Many of you don't seem to grasp that AI isn't a binary "don't use at all" or "all-in on pure slop" proposition. AI assisted development is not automatically vibe-coding.

Believe it or not, you can actually use these tools to level up your skills and understanding faster and then ship better code! Like with any powerful tool, it requires some care to use it correctly.

I'm well aware of this, and I do use AI.

Nevertheless the point remains that the net effect of industry-wide forced adoption of AI is not a "level up" but rather "more slop".
