I would say prompting skills relative coding skills; and the more you rely on them, the less you learn.


That is not my experience. I wrote recently [1] about how I use it and it’s more like an intern, pair programmer or rubber duck. None of which make you worse.

Are you sure? I've definitely had cases where an inexperienced pair programmer made my code worse.


That’s a different question. But you don’t learn less.


Of course you do, that's why school isn't just the teacher giving you the answers, you have to work for it.
