For what it's worth this is one of the major reasons I never 
touch AI - I can actively feel my skill and ability rot when I 
rely on AI to do anything for me.

Even just my general comprehension of a codebase was 
significantly stunted after trying to use AI for about a week or 
so. I wasn't even using it as the main coder, but just as an 
assistant.

I liken it a little to learning a new natural language where 
understanding other peoples' speech and generating your own 
speech are almost entirely separate skills that need to be 
individually practice to a achieve a certain level of "skill 
harmony" between the two.

With AI, this skill harmony gets very skewed IMO, though I feel 
as more and more time passes I'm just going be marked a coding 
boomer... :D
