There will be loads of papers and publications with fake citation. AI will be trained on these. In the end, we'll have more and more hallucinated information that true content on the internet.

You deserve a good compensation as you've obviously put in the work.

I think all animals are born knowing how to walk, including monkeys and humans. However, that trait only surfaces at a later stage of their development.

> But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf.

We have had that for over a decade, and the Big Tech is called Google. By owning Android, Google pretty much owns and knows everything about its users. The same applies to Apple.

I got a rate limit error which didn't make sense since it was my first time opening reddit in hours.

I have the opposite experience to you. This website is one of the few websites I can read clearly without any blurred edges with my glasses on.

I believe it's a natural evolution that occurs in all systems, including software. Every line of code you write is a liability that increases the risk of failure. The risk compounds and so does the frequency of errors.

It's not a lack of integrity. Such people actually believe their own bs. They are functional schizophrenics.

Tiredness is a big one. I was driven by a guy who had worked nonstop for a whole weekend. It was one of the most terrifying drives of my life. I had to tell him to park and sleep outside my house, or else I would report him to Uber.

Translation files, themes, drawables .etc...the list is endless. Even a simple app will easily have a thousand files.

Does anyone else remember how we used to have flash light apps all over the playstore and how they quickly varnished once the feature was implement natively?

That's my biggest worry, atrophy. But I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

I've also had a similar experience. I have become too lazy since I started vibe-coding. My coding has transitioned from coder to code reviewer/fixer vey quickly. Overall I feel like it's a good thing because the last few years of my life has been a repetition of frontend components and api endpoints, which to me has become too monotonous so I am happy to have AI take over that grunt work while I supervise.
