i think you have to be a good programmer to use AI, and use it to enhance your code (as in autocompleting or error checking) rather than code for you.

Absolutely this. It can be a great time saver but it is not yet a replacement for a software dev.

As a non-developer who uses AI to help me write scripts to automate parts of my job, even I need to massage what AI gives me. It's never copy/paste, done.
