If you are describing someone that wants things to be done, then I agree with you.

If you are describing someone that wants to learn things and do the fixing themselves, then I don't understand how you could say that.

For a lot of us, the learning and the mistakes and the eventual fixing of a thing or completion of a project is the goal. Us doing the work is the reward function. AI strips that off and simply finishes the project, removing any and all incentive for the person involved, if they are this kind of person.

Again, simply having the effort completed is probably the goal if you simply want to have something completed that was not completed previously, but if you are someone that derives satisfaction or dopamine from doing the work yourself, then it is very clear that AI completely short-circuits this reward path for that person. Those are the people who don't like AI, and they have a very solid footing with that argument, I think.
