I tried coding with AI, I became lazy and stupid

A developer reluctantly tried AI coding tools after workplace pressure, initially feeling impressed with the quick results. However, they discovered the AI produced unsafe code with security vulnerabilities, and worse, made them lazy and unable to understand their own codebase. This experience revealed that AI won't replace developers through superior performance, but might make them "lazy and stupid" if overused, leading the author to recommit to continuous learning instead of AI dependency.
