I've always liked the premise that you should be competent one level below where you do your daily work. The tools you use should be more efficient for you, not necessarily the only way you can get your work done. If you don't know how to use a drill, you shouldn't use a drill press.

By that token, using AI to solve AoC really seems like one would be doing themselves a disservice. You might tell yourself you fully understand what the AI spits out, and maybe you do, but you won't build the same sort of comprehension that you would from solving it yourself. Nor will you retain it for as long.
