Yep, this is the thing I worry about as well.

I find these tools incredibly useful. But I constantly edit their output and frequently ask for changes to other peoples' code during review, some of which is AI generated.

But all of that editing and reviewing is informed by decades of writing code without these tools, and I don't know how I would have gotten the reps in without all that experience.

So I find myself bullish on this for myself and the experienced people I work with, but worried about training the next generation.

Yes I feel the same way. But I worry about my kids. My 15-year old son wanted to go into software engineering and work for a game studio. I think I'll advocate civil engineering, but for someone who will still be working 50 years from now its really hard to know what will be a good field right now.

Yeah but in fairness, it's always true that it's hard to know what a good field will be in half a century.
