After a year or so using co-pilot and its cousins, I coincidentally tried a new editor and never got around to install any AI support there. I realized that AI had sneaked in on me: It had made me unlearn syntax that used to be second nature. Simple things I knew how to do before, I suddenly had to look up. That made me wonder:

Is the true cost of using AI, which, in its current form, I deem as "autocomplete on steroids", not the subscription you pay, but the decay of your skills?

And if AI decays part of your skillset, to what extent do you think that part of your skillset even matters given the trajectory of AI for coding?

Have any of your stopped using AI directly in your editor for similar reasons?
