This is a good answer. AI tools won't make someone who has not yet developed programming skills into a good programmer. For someone who has a good grasp of implementation patterns and the toolkit for a given tech stack, they can speed things up by putting you into the role of a senior programmer reviewing code from multiple newbies.
I'm finding that for it to work well, you have to split things up into very small pieces. You also have to really own your AI automation prompts and scripts. You can't just copy what some YouTuber did and expect it to work well in your environment.
