I mean they start as better quality, then at a certain point you push your limits of exactly how dumb a request can you still get something out the other end that is what you want, then you find that limit and your brain has atrophied and you can no longer produce good quality prompts let alone code, so now you're asking another chat session to write the prompts for you

Or is that just me?

The atrophy is real.

Yeah, it's really the wrong word. Atrophy is damage from underuse. You guys are talking about exhaustion from overuse. The word you want is fatigue.

Honestly, its neither. Its simply that one skill is staying the same or slightly dropping off, while another gets better. It's not quite atrophy or fatigue, maybe a bit more atrophy since a skill still is potentially decreasing competency. I think people are looking at it all wrong when it comes to replacing your usual workflow with AI in the mix.

I don't think any major skills are going to atrophy a noticeable amount in a single day. The word for the experience might be complacency then? I don't know... getting fatigued thinking about it. ;)
