@jimbob That's my objection to using "AI": losing the opportunity for learning and developing solutions, knowledges that are beneficial for other tasks.
I'm not academic; I'm professional staff. And, for some bizarre reason, HEWs at my uni are expected to use Copilot and develop "skills" using these technologies.

@jimbob We're required to utilise Copilot at my university. I'm refusing to do so and if I'm disciplined for such, I'm out the door, looking for another position.
Maybe I'll become a barista.
