I work in a FAANG. My sense is that most of my teammates are loving the AI. Personally, I hate the AI tools and the hype around them and what it has turned this job into. My own morale has never been lower in the 7 years I've been there and I'll probably try to switch careers or semi retire sooner or later.
I have also considered switching careers, but my employer is not really enthusiastic about AI, so I am trying to hold out for as long as I can. As in, my employer does not pay for nor use any AI at all.
I feel like the economic value of talent is about to be in an interesting position sometime in the not so distant future. Perhaps talented engineers use AI is a more talented manner, but I am not sure that is entirely true nor will it remain that way forever.
