Theory: the reason all these coders love their AI code generators so much is that it completely removes the need to *talk to other people*, while removing any chance of push back.

If you either/all of:
- are an introvert
- consider yourself a master coder; or
- have imposter syndrome

… then having AI constantly sycophantically go “yes, master, BRILLIANT!!” this has *got* to be so self-affirming and hit you right in the dopamine dispenser.

How could AI be wrong, if it tells you you are right?
