This tracks completely with what I've experienced using AI as a pair programmer. As soon as I'm tempted to let it drive, I learn nothing, retain nothing. But if I do the programming, and it does the API look-ups, explains the concepts, I learn a lot.
This is why tab-completion programming with AI is such a trap for juniors in particular. You're never going to develop the core skills needed to become a senior this way. Maybe you don't care, though! Maybe you just want the outcome. Fine. But then accept anyone can do it too.
