In addition to making people stupid, I wonder what affect will LLMs like Claude will have on programmers? How will new programmers learn if companies start using Claude?

The study might not be thorough, but it is pretty obvious if you don't use your brain your are going to lose your skills. Even without the study this should be obvious, the more you practice your skill the better you get if you rely on Chatgpt you will not get better and might get worse.

I swear people like you sound like my high school teacher about never always having a calculator in my pocket and should memorize multiplication tables, now we have the sum of all human knowledge at the tip of our fingers at all times and people are still smart or dumb in the same quantities.
