What happens
Many AI models(Claude, ChatGPT, Deepseek, Kimi K2) are being used to assist in coding.
Most oftenly, people start over using it for coding weakening their own skills.
Common forms
A common form of this is a: Prompt > Copy > Paste > Pray
Another common form is: Script > Prompt > Copy > Paste > Pray
Effects
In this case if you script first and you ask AI to debug it, You wont learn debugging yourself.
The other form of Prompting and copy pasting and praying will weaken your coding skills.
Truth about AI
Infact, AI can be wrong.
Heres what it can acutualy do:
- Sometimes it will give you errors or deprecated things.
- Sometimes it cant do what you prompt.
- Sometimes it is not the way you imagine it.
- Sometimes it adds an easier way for hackers to hack your program or app or webpage.
What most devs miss
Most devs dont know that AI weakens coding skills.
When over-reliance starts you'll eventuly forget basic things.
How the AI can find misinformation from the internet
Most AI's scrape the internet and pick the most relevant results to show.
If a deprecated coding post is relevant, one of the outcomes is: The AI recommends deprecated coding things
They can even recommend code from beginners or pure nonsense if its relevant to what the AI wants to scrape
Why Debugging skills skyrocket down instead of up
Over-reliance on AI means when you hit an AI, you dont know what to do the result: You think asking AI fixes it
This makes you very bad at debugging, probaly equivilent to that of a beginners
