> People who love using AI to create software are loving it because they don’t value the act of creating & understanding the software.

I'm as critical of AI code generation as the next guy, but unfortunately we live in a world of lots of accidental complexity forced on us, and it's not surprising that a lot of people are simply relieved that they can leave some of the boring and frankly exhausting footwork to collect all the necessary boilerplate to some assistant. That allows them to focus on high level understanding and the actual creative part, rather than the opposite, as OP suggests here.
