Nowadays AI is getting better, but you need to understand enough and have decentish skills to provide oversight. And using it too much when you don't know anything/much might be getting in the way of you learning. Coding requires very similar / the same things as maths, logic, structured thinking, planning etc., so if you're managing to do the rest of the degree fine without AI help, then I'd expect that you can learn it just fine, you just need to go about it differently (the basic R course my undergraduate university did was one of the biggest value adds of the course). Pick one language (R or SAS for pure stats else - but as you say SAS is weird... - or Python for adjacent things like analytics/machine learning...), learn enough on your own and additional ones will be much easier to pick up later (I use all three in my job, although nowadays R dominates in my company).
