For me, it’s gone both ways, leaning towards less framework use.

In some cases, I’ve chosen to use frameworks I wouldn’t have otherwise because unfamiliarity is no longer a barrier. I can lean on the AI for the rote memorisation.

In other cases, I have stripped entire frameworks out of my projects because I can now get AI to produce the 250 lines of code that are perfectly tailored to my project, instead of importing someone else’s 5000 lines of (effectively) black box code.

Just the other day I implemented an audio player in HTML5 (progress, playlist, interactions, etc) and didn’t even consider a library. I have code that does what I want and is small enough for me to read in entirety and debug by hand if needs be. (One of the things I like to do is insist that AI comments most lines of code, and then I go through and trim comments to leave what’s useful to me.)
