Non sequitur.

If you are a software engineer, you are going to be expected to use AI in some form in the near future. A lot of AI in its current form is not intuitive. Ergo, spending a small effort on building an AI agent is a good way to develop the skills and intuition needed to be successful in some way.

Nobody is going to use a CPU you build, nor are you ever going to be expected to build one in the course of your work if you don’t seek out specific positions, nor is there much non-intuitive about commonly used CPU functionality, and in fact you don’t even use the CPU directly, you use translation software whit itself is fairly non-intuitive. But that’s ok too, you are unlikely to be asked to build a compiler unless you seek out those sorts of jobs.

EVERYONE involved in writing applications and services is going to use AI in the near future and in case you missed the last year, everyone IS building stuff with AI, mostly chat assistants that mostly suck because, much about building with AI is not intuitive.
