If the "code editor" uses AI they will never become a software engineer.
"Oh I will just learn by asking AI to explain" that's not happening. You won't learn how to come.up with a solution. Mathematiciams know better than anyone you can't just memorize how the professor does stuff and call yourself a problem solver. Now go learn the heruistic method.
As much as people hate it, stackoverflow people rarely give the answer directly. They usually tell you easier alternative methods or how to solve a similar problem with explanation.
They way it will work is that every single college student that relies on AI and gets away with "academic dishonesty, the tool" will become terrible programmers that can't think for themselves or read a single paragraph of documentation. Similar consequences for inexperienced developers.
