The biggest chilling effect I noticed, even as a developer who refuses to use AI, is that I feel like I can no longer ask my co-workers for advice. When I do, I get the the AI equivalent of "let me Google that for you, was that so hard?" So even without using it, I feel cut off from the normal places I would use to learn and improve my coding skills.
