I don't necessarily disagree with this, but if you just regurgitate code that a bot gives you, are you actually solving the problem? Every time I see someone post "I asked ChatGPT and it says x", it seems pretty clear to me that the poster doesn't actually understand the topic and just handed it off to the bot.
> Code is simply an unfortunate vehicle to do so.
It makes me sad that people feel this way. I got into programming because I love writing code. It's exhilarating, there's nothing I would rather do with my life. What you're saying is kind of like if you said "working with the wood is just the unfortunate vehicle for making furniture, so much the better if you can use a CNC machine". You certainly can make furniture more efficiently with tools like that, but it also sucks the joy out of the process.
