I am so much faster with the bots. If you're not faster with the bots then either you write very very little code, or you're doing it very wrong. Tactically they outsmart me 10-100x if you account for the write speed. Even if you just consider the knowledge of languages, libraries, patterns they clearly outperform me. Strategically I do not trust them at all, poor things suck at it, mainly because they always try to take the shortest possible path to the current destination.

And if you think that your personal protest against the automation will in any way affect the direction in which the industry goes then you're delusional. You would have to start something like a political party and collect way more people.
