I find a that actually a disturbing assumption. I've learned a lot from reading other peoples code, seeing how they were thinking and spotting errors, so the good and the bad. I believe that in order to actually write good code its important to actually understand what is the context of the task which basically requires a lot of code reading, which is also sometimes quite enjoyable when you have competent authors. Reading code is an essential part of the game. If you cannot do that you'll just create huge balls of mud with or without ai usage.
Though using ai will speedrun the mud so yeah, there is an argument for not using it.
To be clear, I’m not saying there is nothing interesting in the code of others, obviously. However, reading code is, in my opinion, twice as hard as writing it. Especially understanding the structure is very hard.
