Very much this, I have > 25 years programming experience, but not with typescript and react, it’s helping me with my current project. I ignore probably 2/3 of its auto suggestions, but increasingly I now highlight some code and ask it to just do x for me, rather having to go google the right function/ css magic

Does that feel as rewarding as doing it yourself?

I'm fine with it, I've forgotten more frameworks and libs for now dead devices/services/OS etc over the years that it's largely pointless memorising these things, I'm very happy for a machine to help me get to where I want to be, and less time faffing about with google/stackoverflow the better, like I said the failure rate is still fairly high, but still useful enough.
