RTO is also a factor for some... when I was working full remote I had the time and energy to attend an HIIT class 4 days a week. I was in the best shape of my life.
Since starting a position that requires me in the office for 3 or more days a week, I no longer have the energy (or schedule) to attend since I spend ~120-160m in traffic. Between that and the lack of proximity to my own kitchen affecting my dietary choices, I've gained almost 40lbs in 2 years.
All of this is of course avoidable with self-discipline, but self-discipline wanes as you get more exhausted from your day.
where you can get a job dictates what city you live near, how much you are paid determines how close you can live to that city, and how much distance you want to keep from your neighbors sets the density you can stand.
Moving to a smaller city changes your job, which changes how much you are paid, which changes how close you can live to the city, and your neighbors may still suck. It's likely that you'll end up in the same soul-sucking commute life that you just left.
It can always forward you things to your real email for you to action them. So as a layer doing the boring work of sorting things, researching, and keeping track of changes, but execution, public actions, real-life stuff can still be confirmed by the human (through telegram for example).
There are some good uses if managed properly but people tend to trust ais more and more these days.

Yeah this a thing that turns lots of people off from using and it's usually presented as "of course you want this". And it's a real practical limiter to using for normal apps (I get embedded standalone widgets)
I can see where productivity could be higher if all I did was type in programs to some spec, or bootstrapping new apps all day - but that's like not the reality of "programming", at least for me past 25 years. Sorting through what to even make and interpreting "requirements" is what takes the most time
When I was doing my graduate work about 20 years ago, I focused on algorithmic art and visualizations (from code perspective), and even then I was making stuff that was at par with the digital media artists in the program (meaning people couldn't tell or realize I was making this all with scripts).
I was then and still now strongly of the opinion that copying a trend or leaning on "style" is not really "art". You have to say something more than that, or be so unique in your style that you are the first to go down a path.
Not defending job losses by any means, more just that this has been going on a long time and folks need to be careful. Derivative style movies and animation are probably going to be largely automated (by the movie industry)
