I agree with this.

In some cases, hard thinking and searching for things manually can really enhance understanding and build your knowledge.

In other cases, particularly when ideating for example, you want to be given "inspiration" from other related ideas to build upon other ideas you've had previously.

I think it's a mix of both - reaching for AI as and when when you need it - but avoiding it intentionally at times as well.
