At what point do we put the AI down?
I'm sitting here trying to write a piece of code, just me, my keyboard, my brain. I don't want to use AI. I don't want to use AI. And my editor does this automatically. What problems?
Type out something and it like, does this what you want? No.
Actually, I don't. I want to type it out myself.
Just me.
Relax.
And it's helpful when that's what I want. And I get it. I can turn it off. I did. I just want to make sure that I'm not rotting my brain all the way. So I want to type it myself, once in a while. Is that all right?
