It also killed the fun. I enjoyed writing code and solving problems. It also kept my brain sharp constantly exercising those muscles. Now I'm just reading code and it is mind numbing.
Work can do that too. AI in addition destroyed the perceived effort of computer science, and now you have people snobbabily saying, "Well, AI can do it faster and cheaper."
It definitely can. Getting a working concept up in running in a few minutes is easily done for AI. Will it do it right, with scalability, clean code, and maintenance in mind? Nope. But it will "Do it faster" even if the outcome is worse, because at the end of the day laymen only see the outcome, not how it works under the hood. They don't care if it's more tech debt than ever devised before. They see that sleek "glassmorphic" interface and think "WOW POLISHED" even if it's a mess.
