I see this sentiment a lot regarding gen AI. An I get it, we need to learn our tools. But this seems like it's saying the only way to learn problem solving is the way you learned it. That's just not true. Everyone learns problem solving differently and the emerging field of gen AI will figure out it's own way. It's a different way of thinking. I see my niece using ChatGPT to make projects I wouldn't have even imagined taking up at her age. Her games work. Who am I to say she isn't learning problem solving? In hindi we say "pratyaksh ko praman ki kya avashyakta" (what's right in front of you doesn't require proof).
