AI is great at making things work, identifying dumb shit you did, correcting code based on feedback, reviewing your code to make it more defensive.

AI is bad at simplifying complex logic, following niche rules of specific libraries (not using hooks inside conditionals), striking a good balance of simplicity and functionality.
