Depends on the project. Sometimes I do use libraries and sometimes I don't. But either way, there's a huge difference imo between using libraries and using an LLM. When using a library, I'm still writing code myself. When using an LLM, I'm just doing a newer version of copy pasting stack overflow answers. If other people don't see it that way, more power to them, but I can't really find fulfillment in doing that.

I find it extremely exhilarating when an AI successfully helps me to solve a complex problem. I thought AI was only good for reducing boilerplate and "copypasting" tedious tasks (which it is, through Copilot) but now I get excited when I get stuck and get to talk with ChatGPT about it. We iterate through several solutions and discuss various short-comings as well as debugging them. I love it and it has only increased my passion for programming.
