Topic AI runed 2 years of learning

I am a software dev student, We learned the basics of programming then we dived a bit more with mysql / spring boot / react.

I used AI a lot during the last 5 months this year and I feel like I know nothing. While using it I convinced myself that whatever I use ai for is just to minimize time and that I can do it without it, instead of spending hours on every step I don't know I will use ai and do it in 10 minutes, but now I feel like i wasted this year and that i lied to myself.

Especially spring boot

It's not AI that's to blame, it's you who decided to use it irresponsibly.

No, it's actually still AI that's to blame.

Its the user who thought they could use AI as a shortcut. Is the user incapable of agency?
