I take issue with the "improve accuracy" claim, with the exception of improving grammar. Many people lack the ability to write grammatically correct sentences, so it does help there, but so does a simple spell checker and tools we've already had forever. Though the text "AI" produces is technically correct, it always sounds like a bot wrote it. There's just something hollow about it.

>But like any tool, they need to be used with transparency and critical thinking

Well then we're fucked from the start. The problem is people don't use critical thinking anymore, which is why people submit "AI" generated court cases that don't exist, and then they end up in trouble. "Support decision making"? LMFAO

Where do these idiots think the "AI" gets its code from? From fucking Stack Overflow and every other site on the internet. You're just copying and pasting something a tin can cobbled together from random crap it found during its "training". This is not an improvement. These "jokes" prove their brains have already atrophied past the point of being worth hiring.

I'd rather have skeptics than people that believe anything. The fact is that the physics of the universe are what they are, making it practically impossible that aliens from another planet (or other dimension, if that is your particular delusion) have travelled here. Go watch some Carl Sagan. Go watch some Mick West. Stop filling your brain with nonsensical fantasies of aliens visiting this planet. Having a well founded understanding of the laws of the universe does not mean you are not open minded.

I'm also mid-50's and have no such slowdown. If anything I'm faster today than when I was in my 20s, because I make less mistakes and I know how to plan/architect better than I did back then. I have not found that "AI" is helping all that much. In VScode, it gets in my way more than it helps. I'm also working on a project that there isn't much if any training data for (it's complicated), so the various "AI" offerings don't really have much clue what to do for me. For simple things they can give results, and that's pretty much all they are good for. Unfortunately the simple things they can get right don't really get me very far.
