I think this is a strong statement, if anything with AI doing the "hard" part for students, they will become less able to do it without AI and AI is not fool proof. So you have less skilled people running into walls and doing things the hard way because they could only get AI to do it that way for them.
AI is out of the box, it's not going away, but I recall CS programs always telling students we aren't teaching you to be programmers, but computer scientists who are concerns with the theory of computation, proving whether NP=P or not, and turing machines and such... (all of which I have not used since those classes)
