This is the argument for actually learning, so you don’t ship half-baked code, because the AI isn’t good enough. The people who are telling you it is likely have a financial interest in pushing the narrative that AI will do it all.

This is another problem. A lot of code is written so exactly the same thing happens every time. If AI is going in and changing the logic in subtle ways that aren’t noticed right away when updates are made, because no one understands the code anymore-that’s a problem. In hobby or toy apps, no one cares, but in production code and critical systems, it matters.
