because you already know the steps to solve a problem except it is in another language. The AI will fill in the details for you. It is not about learning a new language, but about being productive in it without knowing the language. reading through the code it spits out will teach you over time though in the same way checking stackoverflow does
If what you're describing is true about the stack overflow motivation, then I don't have high hopes for this. From my experience, I've seen stack overflow be used more as a paste-and-forget reference source than a learning platform to grow as an engineer.
Do we really want a breed of new "programmers" who do not take the time to fully understand the code that's been handed to them?
