I would say as a developer you absolutely need to be comfortable using the tools and understanding the possibilities but how much you use it should be up to you within any token / licensing limits.
I remember back in the 90s when people were starting to use IDEs and other developers would use vi or emacs for everything. There was always a suspicion that each camp wasn't doing it properly! Management didn't care as long as the work got done.
They might be able to hide it for a while but in a few months/weeks, it will tell itself or break down. The speed at which an “AI powered” engineer can deliver is not within regular human capacity.
Umm, isn't usage very easy to automate? You can just use AI to orchestrate the creation of questions and answer them (including generate crap) in a loop? Of course you'd have to be a bit clever to have it appear like a human is driving it which isn't hard. So, use AI to fight AI?
