I have been asking this question a lot lately: is it really an ego issue? Why using AI tools give me this uncomfortable feeling, even when I like the result?
I shared my thoughts in this new blog post:

“Is this the future we want after years, decades of study and practice improving our coding skills? I understand that ‘the genie is out of the bottle’ and there’s no way it’s coming back, but the environment that is being shaped up is just not sustainable in the long term! With less people willing to share open source and less people learning in public (see the decline in Stack Overflow), soon there will be no more ‘free lunch’ for LLMs to get trained, and the overall quality and security of AI-generated code tends to get much worse.” #AI
