> I don’t want to feel this kind of “addiction.”

Getting a feeling of "wanting to keep going" with something does not automatically make it an "addiction".

> I don’t want to depend on something doing the work I earn money with.

A tale as old as time, and a valid feeling, though not particularly helpful to dwell on since the technology will never go away and never get worse than it is right now.

> I don’t want to give up my brain and become lazy and not think for myself anymore.

Your brain will think about other important things and you don't need to become "lazy" just because a machine is doing something that used to require more effort on your part.

> I enjoy technical discussions with (human) co-workers.

So what? You can still have those discussion.

> I enjoy reading blog posts and tutorials and learning from other developers.

So what? You can still read those blogs, but the subjects might shift away from coding minutiae to other topics.

> I want to learn and grow and become better at what I am doing by trial and error and mistakes I make all by myself.

Going forward, that trial and error process will start to happen more at the product/project level rather than the source code level.

> I don’t want to be part of a trend/hype destroying our planet even faster than we already do without it.

It isn't. https://blog.andymasley.com/p/the-ai-water-issue-is-fake
