AI is more useful the more skilled you already are at coding. As in most things in life, the more work you have put in preparing yourself the more you benefit from new opportunities. I spent the last month implementing a completely ridiculous spec (the ICC color profiles one) from scratch for a project and used AI extensively to ask questions about the spec, translate tables from PDF documents into data files, speculate about the causes of behavior in another implementation I was trying to mimic, but wrote almost all of the actual code myself. The consultation with the AI was greatly beneficial, so much so that I exceeded my free tier usage for the month. But there were plenty of occasions when the AI made mistakes and once or twice kept insisting on them even after I pointed them out. So I generally dont trust it to write code, I do that myself, as I find actually writing my own code is faster than reviewing other people's (including AI's) code.
