I have heard this same logic numerous times through my career and its a bias void of evidence, a loud indication of low confidence.
People would lose their minds when they discovered I did not pray at the cult of jQuery and then later React and so forth. I didn't need them. I was more productive without them and still managed to produce applications that executed dramatically faster with substantially less code. AI tools fall into this same camp. What could they provide me that I cannot do better myself at this point in my career? That is a serious question, by the way.
AI tools might work well for you. I am not you. Affirming your bias with baseless assumptions void of evidence will not make you a better programmer. Real developers write their own original code and/or architecture plans. Real engineers measure things and live or die by those measurements.
AI is just another tool. It is not a skill and will not compensate for skills. Perhaps I will use AT later to write test automation because that is something that is very simple to validate and likewise something I really don't want to bother with.
