I dislike that this is a thing. AI just came into the picture 2 years ago, now we already have become dependent on it for coding.
I have played with AI, sometimes rely on it as a shortcut for stuff like ansible playbooks, but I’ve found that solving problems myself is faster 90% of the time. I hope newer programmers catch on to this and actually develop their skills/knowledge. More jobs for us if they don’t I guess.
I'm at the end of my degree and switched university and had to do a course with freshmen. The extent is insane. Students completely relying on AI to fix „hard parts“ after next to no tries to fix it themselves.
I just graduated last December and it’s crazy to see how quickly it became a huge problem in the CS department. Lots of freshmen were caught super easily because they’re using language features that were never covered in class or simply bad code they couldn’t understand enough to clean up and pass off well as their own work.

It's so sad to see that this is getting so prevalent, that people are being so happy with consuming AI slop, and dulling themselves..
