I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.

They send me documents they "put together" that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren't doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.

I feel like I am living in a nightmare.

To the same point as lepinkainen, we are fully responsible for the code we commit. We are expected to understand what we've committed as if we wrote it ourselves. We treat it as a speed booster. The fact that Claude does a good job at maintaining the same structure as the rest of the codebase makes it no different than trying to understand changes made by a co-worker.

On your topic of dependency, the same point as above applies. If AI support were to drop tomorrow, we would be slower, the work would get done all the same.

I do agree with you though. I can tell we are getting more relaxed with the changes Claude makes and putting more blind trust in it. I'm curious as to how we will be in a years time.

As a disclaimer, I'm just a developer, I've no attachment to my company. This is just my take on the subject.
