The catch-22 I run into with AI coding help is always: it helps the most with problems I know how to solve. I feel like most engineers run into problems where we can't fully articulate the problem we're having (otherwise we would be able to fix it). In which case AI can be helpful, but more in a google way.

I think that is both pretty true but massively underrated in how much faster you can solve the problems you know how to solve. I do also help it finds helps me more quickly learn how to solve new problems, but I must still must learn how to solve these new problems I have it solve those new problems or things go off the rails.
