I think in five years — if the tools manage to stick around — finding coders that can work without AI assistance will be like finding skilled assembler developers.
EDIT: Yep I’m definitely a bot because I typed an em dash. You can be a bot too on Ubuntu by hitting control+shift+u and then typing 2014 (the last year of semi-sanity in US politics).
Eh, not really, and it isn’t really an argument but more of a lighthearted prediction.
I think the big question is whether or not the “frontier” models continue to be available and evolve, because the business model for running them seems very unsound.
I kinda hope the AI bubble busts, and that afterwards some of the efforts turn toward making open source models more performant and powerful.

Isn’t the entire point of computers to achieve a result faster than we could without them?
Your argument seems like bemoaning the invention of the paint roller because people won’t learn how to use brushes or their hands to paint walls.
Work output isn’t inherently more valuable just because the job was harder to do, or took more effort.
