People with this view seem to forget that writing code by hand is fun. Most of the experienced programmers I know only use AI to skip the actual boring parts (some boilerplate, the occasional "duplicate this module and change some details", stuff like that) and some of them don't use AI at all. One of them is required to use AI by his job and he says most of his co-workers don't like it.
The opposing viewpoints are there and I'm sure NYT knows it.
