"That's an Echo Chamber" — Self-Diagnosing Myself After Going All-In on AI-Driven Development

I told an engineer at another company that I had gone all-in on AI-driven development, and they answered, "That's an echo chamber." What is an echo chamber, really? Why are you prone to one when you build and work with full-on AI, and how does fully remote work amplify it? Starting from C.
