> In a way, people who are concerned about skills atrophying are repeating the cycle of previous generations, shaking their fist at higher level programming languages or drawing digital images.

Maybe some.

But I resonate with the title because I noticed I started leaning on ChatGPT to avoid having to think through things. I found myself tweaking ChatGPT prompts and hoping for a better response when the previous one wasn’t good enough. Often a better response is not found, then I have to struggle to start thinking for myself.

Over time that leads to less repetition thinking through problems and more difficultly thinking through problems when you can’t use ChatGPT. Is that a good trade off?
