I've found that AI still makes me think. Yes I use it as my 10x, but I still have to plan what I am going to do, call it on its bull, and keep it on track. AI just saves me from the tedium of typing (and lets be real, mistyping). I can't specialize in 13 different languages, but I can bring good architecture, and good practices to bear.

It's a different type of thinking in my opinion, more "systems" thinking.
