i said this before but it's very good at making you feel like you're accomplishing something, but you will inevitably hit a wall with any ai project where it just can't meaningfully contribute anymore. you can work around this issue to an extent by getting really good at you know like project management and splitting your thing up into smaller and smaller chunks but eventually you'll then cross the second wall which is where you're putting in way more effort prompting the AI than you would have spent just doing it yourself
I found that in coding same as with creative writing the best use for the AI is as a parrot because you know if you're hitting writer's block or if you're trying to flesh out an idea all you need is something to like kind of spit your own words back at you to kind of help you shake yourself out of that so using an AI as like a sounding board for your ideas I think is somewhat valuable use or using it as a search engine but even the search engine use is only there because search engines have gotten so shitty
