It’s possible to learn literally nothing when using a gen ai. You can copy paste stuff without even glancing your code. For student work sized projects I’m sure it’s very doable to have a working product without knowing anything about how it works.

Today I wanted to try to create a tool for a game: snapshot a picture and a program recognizes the clipboard event and does image recog things and gives me data. I had a working poc in 3 hours and learned nothing. (Tbf I knew what I wanted and how to do it in general terms so the process might be different for a beginner.)
