I'm a skeptic because the megacorps have decide ai slop is the future and its going to push us deeper into hypercapitalist dystopia.

Programming as a career is going to end up as a ai slop janny. You aren't going to be paid more if your job is easier or whatever, you're gonna get paid less (and then end up doing more atomised work) because "an ai can do it". That's the direction that everything seems to be heading.
