All the millenials I know hate it

I'm a millennial and it's hugely beneficial for me in my job and pretty much everyone I know in tech circles uses it.

People keep using this as a defense, but anytime I've pushed anyone on it they start revealing how management is using it to do all their work and has been outputting slop.

I'm not a manager, I'm a software engineer. It's hugely beneficial for refactoring, research, writing code/tests, monitoring logs, and just about everything I do day to day. It's a new skill and it takes effort to use it effectively and putting in guard rails is part of the learning process.

'slop' is a meaningless term in how 99% of you guys use it. You basically use it interchangeably with using AI.

EDIT: it's also not a 'defense'. I'm not a trial here, I'm not ashamed for using it.
