The argument was "AI helps when starting up new projects by making unit tests etc."
Also for not 20, but even building 10 year old libraries using AI is unhelpful. It just keeps hallucinating non-existent packages and functions.
At this point just drive yourself crazy while promising to become goose farmer and commenting every single line in your own words like god intended for programmers to do.
You read "new projects" in, actually. And the whole unit test thing was just an example demonstrating how AI use has to be tightly bounded to be arguably useful.
