Do you understand every part of your dependencies now, pre-AI?
I see it kind of like baking/cooking. Do you bake your bread from scratch? Do you grow your own wheat and grist your own flour?
I think over reliance on it or not even trying to understand what is happening is a big problem to be sure, but it's certainly not a new problem.
I do try to learn how systems work and remove "abstractions" as much as I can. I do that with coding and my personal life.
Actually baking is a good example, I used to be really bad so I spent time learning. I don't do it every day but now I understand how bread is made. I bought a 3D printer so I could print parts to fix stuff myself. I learned to do my own oil changes, I learned how engines work, etc.
My point is that I try to learn more, not less, which is what AI is trying to achieve
The person who grows the wheat understands how to grow the wheat. The person who grist the flour understands how to grist the flour.
And I would understand how to bake bread from scratch.
Now in the entire chain, we will get to a point where no one knows anything.
