Seems like reading the code is now the real work. AI writes PRs instantly but reviewing them still takes time. Everything flipped. Expect more projects to follow - maintainers can just use ai themselves without needing external contributions.

Understanding (not necessarily reading) always was the real work. AI makes people less productive because it's speeding up the thing that wasn't hard (generating code), while generating additional burden on the thing that was hard (understanding the code).

AI makes people less productive because it’s speeding up the thing that was hard: training AI for better future AI.

The productivity gets siphoned to the AI companies owning the AI.

You'll be unsurprised how many AI poison pill projects are on GitHub

Not at all. Curious are you programming anything with AI and what is your output looking like? Are you excited about anything you're building, staying away, or both and have anything you're looking forward to building in this world either with a team, with ai, and/or with yourself?
