It sometimes feels like AI chatbot use is like the doomscrolling of work - it's always easier just to dump something into the chatbot than think about it.
The real question is: what's the fallout going to be after the dust settles? My guess is that the explosion of codebase entropy now underway from this is going to make for an interesting future - once it reaches the point where AI agents are spinning constantly despite progress grinding to a halt.
And they're be no veterans who know the codebase deeply to step in and fix things because it was all vibecoded - and then what are companies going to do?
I think that's the point where they turn back to the thinkers for help.
