So if I were to continue with your logic, our walking and running skills or level of physical fitness have atrophied because we can drive or take public transit. Should we no longer drive or take public transit anywhere?

To your point, my documentation reading skills have certainly atrophied.

I'm not coding as much so my coding skill has likely atrophied to an extent.

It does take intentional effort to counteract this, which is why I will force myself to write code by hand still. Or why I carefully parse PR diffs and will not approve it unless I can explain what it's doing and why it's doing it that way.

I was careful to explain that there are certain points in my workflow that I leverage AI to great benefit. There are plenty of points that I do not trust it and must be the HITL, generally around exercising judgment or course correcting when the agent has gone off the rails.

I can understand why you would jump to such an assumption though. There is nuance to everything.
