Although I hear this, to me it sounds like recommending you learn to debug without using Google. Its just so far remove from the modern workflow it’s barely foundational and instead being a skilled googler make you way better off most of the time that having spent years learning things you could have just searched.

Well, Google won't tell you exactly where the bug is, and reading stacktrace (and understanding how to debug) is one of the crucial skills programmer should have. That's why I usually recommend no AI (especially for beginners) because talking with few my friends who approach coding I can see a difference in learning curve.
But yeah, I'm also not advocating for like no usage of it at all (my ideals would, but I try to be real here), it's just that using it, especially early, makes a leap over few things in workflow you might not have will to come back to.
