I fight against this by using it mostly on trivial tasks, which require no comprehension at all, also fixing docs and extending tests. It helps me to focus on what I love, and let the boring stuff automated.

For complex tasks, I use it just to help me plan or build a draft (and hacky) pull request, to explore options. Then I rewrite it myself, again leaving the best part to myself.

LLMs made writing code even more fun than it was before, to me. I guess the outcomes only depends on the user. At this point, it's clear that all my peers that can't have fun with it are using it as they use ChatGPT, just throwing a prompt, hoping for the best, and then getting frustrated.
