For me, I am not sure it has eliminated thinking.
I have recently started to use codex on the command line. Before I put the prompt in, I get an idea in my head of what should happen.
Then I give it the instructions, sometimes clarifying my own thoughts while doing it. These are high level instructions, not "change this file". Then it bumps away for minutes at a time, after which I diff the results and consider if it matches up to what I would expect. At that point lower level instructions if appropriate.
Consider whether it was a better solution or not, then ask questions around the edges that I thought were wrong.
It turns my work from typing code in to pretty much code design and review. These are the hard tasks.
