As someone who has had RSI issues in the past, I empathize with this, and I tend to use AI similarly.

But that’s not a fair comparison. You typed the equivalent of 15-20 lines of code to generate 100, and you also needed additional for reading/understanding that code.

I have no doubt that a programmer who worked with the relevant APIs frequently enough could have written that function faster than the total time it took you to do all those things.

Now that programmer in a less familiar domain could probably benefit from AI, but I get where people with different experiences are coming from.
