If you know how to do something, AI is probably not as good at doing it as you are. And if you don’t know how to do something AI won’t do as good a job for you as someone who does.

But AI can do things very fast. So if you know how to do something, it may be faster to get AI to do it and then verify/correct the work instead of just doing it.

But it often requires nontrivial work upfront to provide detailed directions and context, which is wasted effort if it isn’t able to produce satisfactory result and you have to do it yourself.

And if there isn’t a good, and ideally automated, way to verify the work it does, that can take more time than you think, and the work can be more annoying to do. It’s more fun to solve a problem than to check the solution to a problem.
