AI and the European Dev Productivity Trap

Industry
A recent employment survey of European game developers reveals a shift in AI anxiety. Half of the respondents worry AI will reduce the quality of their work, and 46% say these tools make it harder to judge actual professional skills. We spent years fearing the existential threat of job loss. Now we get the reality: the productivity trap. Why worry about a robot taking your desk when management can just use AI to justify impossible deadlines? It is a race to the bottom where efficiency is just code for lower quality bars and a blurred definition of skill.
