Why AI is making you a worse programmer

“AI can deceive you. You can think you know more than you do because you don’t recognize that you have a crutch.”

AI coding tools can generate software quickly, but working code is not the same as understanding code.

Jolie Dobre (specializes in human-computer interactions) explains why beginners may struggle more with AI-generated code, ChatGPT coding, and vibe coding tools. When developers rely on generative AI without enough software development experience, they may accept code they cannot properly review, debug, secure, or maintain.

The danger is not that AI coding tools are useless. The danger is believing you understand the code simply because it runs. AI can introduce hidden bugs, security vulnerabilities, technical debt, and complex code that junior developers may not know how to question.

AI should help developers learn and build faster, not become a crutch that hides missing coding skills.

Is AI coding making developers more capable, or just making weak code easier to ship?
