Last year I learned a new language and framework for the first time in a while. Until I became used to the new way of thinking, the discomfort I felt at each hurdle was both mental and physical! I imagine this is what many senior engineers feel when they first begin using an AI programming assistant, or an even more hands-off AI tool.

Oddly enough, using an AI assistant, despite it guessing incorrectly as often as it did, helped me learn and write code faster!
