I just sat through a company wide "alignment" call where they were telling everyone about the AI training programs they are putting through
They went through great efforts to frame any hesitation about using AI tools as being caused by fear basically. This training program was pitched in such a way to make it seem like anyone not embracing and using AI tools is backwards and old fashioned and behind the times, so it's time to "get with the program"
It's very discouraging
I don't think these tools are useful enough to spend my time on.
I would rather spend 20 minutes writing code than 19 minutes writing prompts to almost generate the right code that I can fix in 1 minute
Maybe one day this stuff will be useful to me
But by that time I imagine companies won't have much use for employees at all anymore, because AI will basically just replace us
I'm not even 40 yet. It is hard for me to imagine living another 40 years with the trajectory that the world is going
