I agree with your points. I can clearly see the difference in myself between how I used to program before and how I do now.

At one point, I was using Copilot very heavily. One day I lost my internet connection and tried to write code manually, but I did not even know what to write. All I had been doing was reading the code and pressing the Tab key.

When I tried to write code myself, my fingers automatically moved to the Tab key with perfect millisecond timing. That was the day I disabled AI auto-completion and decided to use only Ask mode in Copilot.

Now I only use code generation when I 100% (atleast 90%) understand what is happening in the code, or when I am working on something that will not help my future growth, like routine code at my job.
