If youre afraid that AI will take your job, learning to use it well is a much better strategy than rejecting it. OReilly author Andrew Stellman recommends several exercises for learning to use AI effectively. Unit tests are a useful exercise because testing logic is usually simple; its easy to see if the generated code is incorrect.
