AI future will be nothing like present

The day I'll have to use an AI will be the day I either resign to be developer or quit my job. My company first disallowed AI and now they say "if you don't keep up we will pay that off someday" and I disagree and stand by that I'll never touch any AI stuff.

My knowledge, my experience and my passion to development is made from tinkering, failing, retrying and challenging. When a friend or colleague ask me a question there is a high percentage I can already fix the issue just by the experience I've accumulated (obviously, if the question is in an area I already explored, I'm not a book).

Thus, I don't want to be integrated in this new AI world and I feel like someday I'll have to do something else as even companies will tell people to use AI by the fact "you should be more productive and cost less". No, AI is a mental disorder.

The same thing happened when higher level languages were introduced and developers didn't need to use assembly.

I also saw it happen with JS frameworks/front-end development.

By avoiding AI you might be out of a job one day without the ability to get another one, because employers will all reqire it.

You're comparing vi vs microsoft word.

We're still writing C, C++ and other low level languages.

Well, this is just nonsense. I can't think of any technology that literally all employers require.
