I do not want to be a programmer anymore

Summary

The real danger isn’t losing work to machines; it’s surrendering our judgment to them.An empty chair and a glowing screen, when the machine feels like the most confident presence in the room.When AI Sided With My WifeA few weeks ago, my wife and I found ourselves in one of those disagreements couples collect over the years, the kind that feels small in the moment but somehow dawdles. The subject? A domain name idea she had. I was convinced it was terrible. She was equally convinced it was brilliant.Normally, that’s where logic ends and marriage begins, warm tea, small compromises, maybe even a page out of Dale Carnegie about how smiles and soft words win more than arguments. But instead of Carnegie, I made the rookie mistake of inviting a third party into the conversation: AI.“Let’s ask it,” I said, with the kind of confidence only a fool brings into a debate with his spouse, certain the algorithm would vindicate me.It didn’t. It sided with her. Not only did it side with her, but it also provided three bulletproof arguments, an analogy, and a list of comparable brand names I couldn’t refute. Within five minutes, I was not only wrong, but I was also convinced I had been wrong all along.My wife savored the win, naturally. But later she admitted something unsettling: it bothered her that I hadn’t been persuaded by her reasoning, but by an algorithm’s. It wasn’t the victory that stuck with her. It was how easily I surrendered my judgment to a machine.I realized, it is the real tension of living in an age where AI evolves faster than our ability to make sense of it. The hardest part isn’t learning frameworks, debugging messy code, or keeping up with releases. It’s living in a world where everyone -spouses, clients, strangers- can summon arguments that sound like they’ve been practicing them their whole lives.
