Coding without AI will likely take on the nature of leisure activities like cycling, jogging, horseback riding, or swimming. The invention of cars, trains, and ships didn't eliminate them. It's clear the latter are overwhelmingly more efficient, while the former now remain in the realm of hobbies or exercise. I also deliberately avoid using AI for some small projects and code them myself, but I consider this purely a hobby now, not work.

As the original author pointed out, the advice to jog or ride a bike because driving all the time is bad for your health is sound, but the Red Flag Act has proven to be a foolish endeavor. I believe the same phenomenon will occur.

Cycling is not just a leisure activity and cars are not a full bike replacements.

The point I was trying to make is that whether you should use AI for coding depends on the scale and nature of the task. To continue the original analogy, even if it's not leisure, a bicycle is a practical choice for short-distance travel. Of course, a car doesn't perfectly replace a bicycle. But would that still be true for distances of tens or hundreds of kilometers? And this is just an analogy; if you don't like cars, an electric bike, a scooter, or something similar is fine.

Assuming that society hasn't been stroaded into artificially favoring cars, to the point where other options become effectively removed, even if they would otherwise have been better-suited to the use case.
