How much has AI changed (or ruined) programming?

I used to code practically full time back when I was in high school, stopped over 3 years ago. Towards the end was when ChatGPT came out. At first, it could program simple python games, which was cool but definitely not game changing. Now, AI can automate so much coding. It’s gotten to the point where there are YouTube videos where people compare different LLMs recreating popular video games in an hour.

I obviously don’t think it’s gotten to the point where it’s replaced humans but surely it’s made a difference on the workflow of programming in 2026, right?

So, I was curious as to how coding is like nowadays with AI. Do you guys hate it? Do you use it?
