Having lived through the internet, Google and stack overflow revolting I think there is a substantial difference with an LLM.
The previous made it easier to learn things, while LLMs do things for you.
As a result of Google and SO I was really bad in what they replaced.
As a student I memorized all the utilities I had to use frequently, but since the search revolution I keep googlung simplest stuff. "how to check if character is in string" every day because I don't have to remember it.
I might be an exception but I clearly got much worse in knowing things by heart because they are one search away.
Amd I think it's plausible that a person who will only ever work with LLM will never learn to actually code. And if they don't then what will they be able to reliably deliver.
