Assembling the words is a skill you need, which is why you're taking a class that requires it.

To some extent, you are probably thankful your elementary school teachers didn't let you use a calculator to do stuff like 2 + 2 = 4 or the multiplication tables. Doing that quickly without any tools is useful in the real world.

Similarly, you will often have to argue for your point of view in real-time; there won't be time to craft a prompt and ask the AI what it thinks. "Why should we do this your way?" "Why should we hire you?" "Why should I let you go with just a warning?" It all matters.

I used to be told I needed to learn cursive. My parents had to learn how to operate a typewriter.

All of this is just various levels of abstraction. It’s still your responsibility to manage the final outcome, which is a far distance from “assembling words.”
