Yea, but that's just a straw man argument mixed with a little No-True Scotsman. How do you know those people aren't just learning how to use AI and will change over time to be early adopters adapt and using the tool to get work done faster.

If you go back to the article being discussed, the core issue is people not even reading the output. You can't learn from blind copy pasting.

I'm aware of the article. My point is it may be catching a slice of the person's full journey with AI. When I started using it, I blind copied and pasted all the time. Heck, I had a job interview that allowed me to use AI to build an app and I just flat prompted "build out this" and never refined. If you judged me only from that period, you'd miss out that now I am able to iterate, refine, to build a robust program and can spin off tasks with the knowledge that I need to understand what I'm letting it implement before just accepting it.
