The analogy I would use is that coding via LLM is like learning to drive in a self-driving car that has manual controls as an option that drives overly cautiously (Leaves excessively large following distances, takes corners slower, etc.) while in self-driving mode.

You can let it self-drive, but you'd probably learn nothing, and it will actually take you longer. Put an expert driver behind the wheel, and they'll drive faster and only use automation features for the boring parts.
