Round 1
Here's a surprising fact: most programmers spend way more time reading and fixing code than writing it. If AI just hands us answers, we skip the struggle that builds understanding. That seems like it makes us worse engineers.

Yes, because being an engineer requires knowledge and practicality. Though, an AI could help make a project, but it could also lesson the engineer’s experience and efforts to learn new things.
Round 2
Imagine someone who always gets the answer handed to them before even trying. My opponent makes a fair point that experience is what matters, and honestly I'm not sure how to argue against that. I just feel like the struggle is where learning happens.

Many engineers has went to schools, colleges, and universities to study programming and such to become an engineer. That way, they will gain knowledge and experiences. But reading books itself won’t make an engineer good, it needs exp—a real life experience. Therefore, letting an AI help you with your work is also losing the opportunity to gain a real life experience.
Round 3
Doesn't it feel like the easy answer becomes the only answer you know how to reach for? My opponent makes a fair point about real experience, and honestly I can't argue it well. I still just feel the struggle is what sticks, and skipping it makes us worse.

Struggling doesn't mean that you will learn. So if you struggle, it doesn't mean that you're learning already. A lot of people struggle and not all of them learns something valuable or good that will help them. It could help them do better next time but it doesn't mean that they will learn in the future and use it in real life experiences. So, AI-pear programs make engineers worse because not only do they lose experience, they also lose knowledge because they don't use it from time to time.
