One of the outcomes that programming produces is understanding.
By building a system you gain knowledge about it as it is created. There's probably no better way of gaining that information. I would even argue it's the more important outcome than the actual executable code.
Using "AI" coding removes this outcome entirely, so why should I ever want that?
