<p>> "if he doesn't do it, another engineer will do it. Might as well take the money".<p>You should introduce your friend to Kant.

<p>A counterpoint:<p>Working in /plan mode bouncing ideas back and forth with the AI, me catching its wrong assumptions, it filling in knowledge gaps with a clear explanation when needed, is very intellectually stimulating and I think is making me a better engineer.  The key for me has been to be socratic with the AI, think through everything it is proposing carefully, and don't get hypnotized by its confidence, perfectly structured arguments, etc.</p>
