Thanks for writing this. This really mirrors my own perspective. Yeah, these tools aren't exactly "learning to fish," but if this gets someone excited about "fishing', then that's a good thing. A lot of my early coding experiences were in a similar vein to what you described, altering gamemaker projects and things like that. And even now I have a lot of fun playing with this AI stuff. It can help me go from 0 to 20% on something I previously knew nothing about, and sometimes that initial boost is all I need to get over the friction and actually do something cool. Or sometimes I realize that it's not worth the amount of effort it would take to go to the next 80%. That's OK too.
I totally understand the cynicism around this stuff, but for me it's like... 99% exciting and cool.
