I can see how that works: this is like building a dependency, a habit if you wish. I think the tighter you couple your workflow to these tools the more dependent you will become and the greater the let-down if and when they fail. And they will always fail, it just depends on how long you work with them and how complex the stuff is you are doing, sooner or later you will run into the limitations of the tooling.
One way out of this is to always keep yourself in the loop. Never let the work product of the AI outpace your level of understanding because the moment you let that happen you're like one of those cartoon characters walking on air while gravity hasn't reasserted itself just yet.
Good advice about the dependency. This stuff is definitely addictive. I've been in something of a manic episode ever since I subscribed to this thing. I started getting anxious when I hit limits.
I wouldn't say that Claude is failing though. It's just that they're clearly messing with it. The real Opus is great.
Take good care of yourself and don't get sucked in too deep. I can see the danger just as clearly in programmers around me (and in myself). I keep a very strict separation between anything that can do AI and my main computer, no cutting-and-pasting and no agents. I write code because I understand what I'm doing and if I do not understand the interaction then I don't use it. I see every session with an AI chatbot as totally disposable. No long term attachment means I can stand alone any time I want to. It may not be as fast but I never have the feeling that I'm not 100% in control.
