This is something that's been simmering in the back of my mind for a while. Using an AI Agent instead of talking to your human colleagues deprives both of you from learning opportunities. There are probably short term gains in many cases, but I fear there will be long term losses over time.
I agree, and think that organizations that figure out how to use AI well in a collaborative way will succeed in the long-term. Developer community is still where the important growth happens.
Is it possible to talk to coworkers? What if you voted for wrong party? Are closeted gay/trans/qeer? Radical femimist?! Or dog atrack survivor, and they really _REALLY_ like dogs!
Talking to colleagues at work is a chore, and huge risk! Not opportunity! At least AI respects my privacy, and will not get my fired!
