I agree, but you don't have to outsource your thinking to AI in order to benefit from AI.

Use AI as a sanity check on your thinking. Use it to search for bugs. Use it to fill in the holes in your knowledge. Use it to automate grunt work, free your mind and increase your focus.

There are so many ways that AI can be beneficial while staying in full control.

I went through an experimental period of using Claude for everything. It's fun but ultimately the code it generates is garbage. I'm back to hand writing 90% of code (not including autocomplete).

You can still find effective ways to use this technology while keeping in mind its limitations.
