in a class on using AI for data analysis and i genuinely don't want to work in information technology anymore. none of this shit works and everyone is required to use it anyway. it sounds like hell. i would literally rather flip burgers or whatever.

I recognize the feeling. I do think that we make progress by building on the work of others and we can't/don't need to have their knowledge.
But your post made me think some more and I (finally?) realise how this is different. How the AI produces the initial code that somehow you are supposed to maintain.
And everyone that has been tasked to maintain code of someone else knows how hard that can be. The previous person being ignorant or genius can be equally frustrating.
