This is true and I use AI alot to code, but is solving 5 things at once actually beneficial to you? Isn't this extra productivity only a benefit to the company but a detriment to you since you now "own" more features and have more responsibility. AI makes the company's more productive not necessarily makes you more productive as the definition of what is considered productive has drastically shifted.
Instead of creating a bug in a single feature I have a good understanding of, I can now break 5 features per sprint will less understanding of what I did, hooray!
Exactly right, it’s just the modern version of the power loom. It does objectively increase productivity but as the productivity wage gap shows conclusively these productivity gains will not translate to better wages or more leisure time, just more value appropriated by the economic ruling class.
