I know some Gen Z recent grads who use chatgpt to write their code.
back in my day, we had to write our code ourselves....
I use chatgpt for coding (millennial). You still need to know how to code though, because 50% of the time it doesn't work properly. You need to explain the nature of your variables, and the overall process you want to achieve. But I still save a good amount of time, because now I don't need to remember the specific syntax for a particular function, and it has saved me reading documentation because in can tell how some functions work by context.
Not learning how to code because of ai is like not learning math because there are calculators, sure, you don't need to know the multiplication tables by heart, but you need to know what multiplication is and how it's used to solve real world pringles.
i use chatgpt for coding (i can code myself but it helps with a lot of stuff), and if I wouldn't be able to code i would wonder why nothing works. but because i know how to code i know that chatgpt is often just writing horrible code which often does something completly else than asked. so i often think "screw this i do it myself" after countless trys to let chatgpt fix it.
