Using AI on libraries you know inside and out (you know all the attributes of the classes you're working with and you know what the arguments are for every function) feels great. Using AI on libraries you're not familiar with will simply cause you to lose time because AI will give you code that returns different object types than the library is expecting. Then, instead of understanding why you're asking it to fix it, it will try variations of similar code and make up an excuse as to why now it's fixed, despite it having no clue what the problem was. Even if the code "runs" you'll have to refactor it anyways because code is not one size fits all.

It can be useful to sparking creativity but if you're not reading documentation you're just looking busy while not accomplishing much
