I just had a post-shower thought… If you went even just one year into the past and openly told your boss that you used an AI tool to write user stories, documentation, or code, you would've been scolded for skirting your responsibilities or "cheating." Some companies even had strict policies against using AI, and some still do.

Fast forward to today: if you tell your boss you used an AI tool, you're praised for efficiency and streamlining your workflow.

Just an interesting dichotomy between the two mindsets, and such a quick switchover.too. Even the stuffiest "non-tech" companies are openly encouraging the use of AI in your day-to-day nowadays, whether it be for writing code building presentations. As long as the work is good, they pat you on the back.

As somebody who likes automating stuff, I love to see it. But as a future slave to our future robot overlords, there still needs to be a place for us flesh bags.

    There are things that I have wanted to do that are purely artistic at work. (Though it is very related to work.) Priorities have always been the constraint of me getting to do them. Now I have tools that might be able to do these things while I do my normal job. I say this is a useful tool.

    Another useful thing is creating boiler plate code. This can be useful for throwing things together that I can tweak. It is a refactor button on steroids. This is useful for my main job.

    At my company we went from "it's forbidden to use AI" to "it's mandatory to use [our in-house] AI"
