I agree, but it doesn't have to be that way. I've been learning a couple new languages and frameworks lately and found it really accelerates my learning, increases enjoyment, and is good at explaining the silly mistakes that I make.

So it can enhance skills just as much as it can atrophy them.

And I'm okay with some skills atrophying... I hate writing regular expressions, but they're so useful for some situations. It's a shame chatGPT fails so hard at them, otherwise I would be content to never use a regex again.
