Well Ai isn't a drug, so its totally up to you to stop using it. At least during the learning phase. If you have no control over yourself, but you really want to stop using it, then maybe you need to do some more drastic measures. In example uninstall any Ai software you have, put the webpages with the Ai bots you would use on a block list. I can't give you a strong will, you have to build it yourself.

Maybe play a learning game. There are games that teach you programming. Either simple text based games, or maybe even full videogames with the topic of programming. This could arouse your appetite to actually learn it.

The Farmer Was Replaced is like eight bucks right now but if OP is slop addicted the hard part is still not pushing the magic button as they succinctly called it

Looks interesting. There was even a sale for programming related games recently. So there are lot of interesting games for this genre. I personally do not have any specific recommendations, so any are welcome here.
