If you’re a software Engineer and you’re not using AI, there’s a high chance you will be unable to find good work in the near future.
Software engineering has always been a race to stay on top of the latest trends in technology to stay relevant in the market.
Expecting engineers to not use AI on their own pet projects is unrealistic.

As someone who’s job involved VB6 just two years ago. I think we have a very different experience of software development. Sure there’s some companies who rush to the newest, but for others that costs money, they expect you to just keep plodding along with the tools you have.

If you were using VB6 just 2 years ago then it’s pretty clear to me that you were in a niche, and the exception rather than the rule.

My state’s lottery team still use cobol, my buddy is working in fortran, and many sites I touched are running on php7 (discontinued in Nov 22). Not sure it’s really all that niche to work on old tech.
