"AI will take over our jobs!"
"Programming with AI is a skill issue"
Here's my going against the grain view of it from my experiences so far... No it doesn't help boost productivity, nor did it prevent burnout. But what these AI tools have done is help me keep moving forward.
There would often be times in my work that I'd get to a section that just either felt daunting or I just didn't want to necessarily do that stuff, so I'd start procrastinating. But by having Cursor/AI start doing the work for me, it would produce enough for me to use my skills and experience to fix any mistakes or take it the final steps to completion, then I keep moving forward.
That to me is a super power.
