Yep, I get that some people love the act of literally typing "x = 2;" but to me coding is first and foremost problem solving. I have a problem (either truly mine or someone else's), I come up with a solution in my head and slowly implement it.

Before I also had to code it and then make sure it had no issues.

Now I can skip the coding and then just have something spit out something which I can evaluate whether I believe is a good implementation of my solution or not.

Of course, you need the skill to know good from bad but for medium to senior devs, AI is incredibly useful to get rid of the mundane task of actually writing code, while focusing on problem solving with critical review of magically generated code.
