This is the sad reality we live in I suppose, I feel that the trajectory that our species is moving towards is one of over-reliance. It seems like people are slowly becoming more and more dependent on AI, and to be honest, that was always the goal of technology whether we like it or not. Things are invented to make other things easier, but of course this case is just sad.

I also like doing this exact thing. I really don't like using any AI-powered IDEs but AI is still too useful, what I do is just open up a Claude or Gemini chat, explain the project, and start talking about implementations, feature additions, and how systems should be structured. Most of the time, as long as you dont let the AI be too biased towards your answers, it'll give actually good answers that help immensely for the project.
