Indeed. I think it's a much bigger issue for juniors, who haven't yet had a chance to build that systems design muscle. When an LLM is making a bad design decision but the engineer doesn't have the experience to spot it AND t

"[Learning] new sports" strikes me as an especially odd one. I can see how an AI tool could help to learn the theory or perhaps come up with better training or match-day/racing strategies, but it won't short-cut the wor

What that woman you quoted said definitely resonates with me. I cycle a lot and the rise of e-bikes has definitely made my experience worse. Those bikes are capable of inficting a lot more damage yet I find that the average skill level of
