I would fall into this camp. I don't understand everything I am doing, but I have learned a lot through trial and error. I have an IT background in infrastructure and dabbled in automation, but never enough to be good. AI has allowed me to create things from my ideas that interest me. Is it good, no. Do I sell it though, no. I create things for myself. I wouldn't be able to do these things without it though because I didnt have the time and the teaching I had tried didnt interest me.

On one side, that's fine. Nobody can understand everything, and even the best developer has to learn with trial & error sometimes. And that these tools are enabling us to cover our lack in time/knowledge is great and brings society to new levels.

But on the other side does society also need highly educated experts, with deep understanding of things and the ability to find and prevent the s** which will harm us. This is not limited to IT, it's the same in every area.

Education prevents disaster. But AI prevents education, maybe. We will see how this will play out for us. Maybe the AI-Overlord won't be just a joke anymore at some point, and benevolent AGIs can replace the necessary experts.
