Comment on Codegen is not productivityparent

I don't. I did those things before AI so what's new?

The Googling you do to get an understanding of something you've never seen before can be done in a fraction of the time by AI.

A feature wasn't 10000 loc written by a AI before that no one except the AI with the context understands. If you review all that to understand it fully your productivity gain diminishes, the gain might not go away fully but it is much less when you can be woken up at 3am because of an incident and start reviewing everything.

If I'm the responder it makes no difference to me if an AI wrote it or another worker; it's alien either way.

Well, for me it makes a difference. I often get in a sense a "theory of mind" of the other developers when I read other code. I don't get the same thing with AI code.
