IMO this take is naive when it comes to actual senior developers (not people calling themselves senior after 3y).
Most of these things that would take me a day or two to figure out, take this time because of the process. Not because of any learning happening. I have enough experience that learning can happen in a very, very small amount of time and explanations.
AI increases the amount of things I learn because it decreases the amount of time I need to spend to get to the signal. But this doesn’t apply to everyone; less experienced developers need the practice and for this your comment does apply I think.
