It could be that this person has something profound to say, but ... it's about AI. Sigh and swipe left.

I don't think it has something "profound" to say, but it also is a good article worth the read.

It's mostly about why some people enjoy working with AI ("I get to build things I can use, that I couldn't build otherwise!)" and others don't ("This code is all slop and nobody understands it, and it makes me sad")

It touches a little bit about those two perspectives in general, which he calls centaurs (in charge of the work) and reverse centaurs (the work is in charge of them)

So many of the articles I've read are like this—some of them feel as though AI gets mentioned out of the blue. I think you need to separate the wheat from the chaff. The ideas are still good, the author is just distracted.

Even if they're saying something bad about it?

That feels overly reductive
