You might, just as ages ago when people were complaining about juniors c+ping stack overflow answers you might have said you used them to learn from. LLMs are a turbo charged version of the same problem, only now rather than copying a code fragment from stack overflow you can have an LLM spit out a working solution. There is no need to understand what you're doing to be productive, and if you don't understand it you have no model or reasoning to apply in the future to other problems, maybe AI will save you there too for a while, but eventually it won't and you'll find you've built your career on sand.

Or maybe I'm wrong and we're all headed for a future of being prompt engineers.
