Using AI Generated Code Will Make You a Bad Programmer

I can trust that a higher level language will produce the correct assembly code.

I can trust that a garbage collector will allocate and cleanup memory correctly.

I cannot trust that an AI will generate quality code. I have to review its output. As someone who has been stuck doing nothing but review other people's code for the last few months, I can confidently say it would take me less time to code the solution myself than to read, digest, provide feedback for, and review changes for someone else's code. If I cannot write the code myself, I cannot accurately review its output. If I can write the code myself, it would be faster (and more fulfilling) to do that than review output from an AI.
