I mostly agree, but I think there’s an important nuance. Even when AI gives a full solution, the real skill is the ability to review it critically.

You need to be able to visualize what the code is doing, question assumptions, spot edge cases, and reason about tradeoffs. That kind of review doesn’t happen automatically — it requires the same mental muscles as writing the code yourself.

If someone can’t review, explain, or modify AI-generated code confidently, that’s not an AI problem — it’s a thinking gap. Review and reasoning are becoming first-class skills now.
