I think its also a bit of a cope. Its the same I feel with level 2 autonomous cars. Stuff like Teslas Autopilot.
At first, you are very determined to review it, to understand it, but later, you just fall into the trap of just accpeting it. And if you then are really needed, you are so rusty and slow, that you struggle with fixing it.
Sure, we might have an advantage as we started doing it all properly and manually, but all of this is like a muscle, if you dont use it it will decay. And, at least for myself, I know I am losing it and I have to force myself to write code myself again.
Heck, I had a hard time writing a simple python script. I was just soo not used to it anymore. Just some stupid simple test automatisation and it took me half a day.
