You cannot trust people to think for themselves, we already have issues with that and now we distributed chatbots to everyone so learning is even less necessary.

True that. No question here

Except what is the functional difference? Please elaborate.

I am not "getting dopamine when it’s right, and then prompting again when it’s wrong", I am just offloading the work of typing the text. What the code should do, how it should do it, how much effort to spend on processing this or that edge case/possible problem - still all me. Another version of the same: I don't care that an llm also writes tests and they are green: who cares if they are green when the core logic can be still all fucked up
