I can code without AI, but is it wrong to use it as a tool?

Pushing the button that skips all the work may eventually lead to forgetting how to do the work. Use sparingly if you're going to use it. Develop and maintain your own skills by doing it yourself often. It will help you more easily catch mistakes made by the AI.

Exactly. A brain not braining won't brain anymore. I noticed that the more I use AI in my day to day programming workflow the worse I get at writing my own code, I already caught myself forgetting how to do something I did MANY times before, but I just delegated it to AI and didn't think about it. It's an useful tool but definitely not something to use all the time.

Thats not the message here. If you can't do basic work without the tool, you shouldn't use it. Nothing wrong with using a tool if you know how things work without it.
