This is very insightful, thanks. I had a similar thought regarding data science in particular. Writing those pandas expressions by hand during exploration means you get to know the data intimately. Getting AI to write them for you limits you to a superficial knowledge of said data (at least in my case).
Every time I fly, I marvel at how much engineering and know-how went into making the airport that I'm using. From the oddly shaped trucks with various functions, to mundane elements (elevators, escalators, ...) to advanced technology (radio communication, radars...) to the sheer organizational feat (thousands of people coming in every day to execute their carefully planned tasks). This text will give me one more thing to think about :)
