Personally I've taken lots of time to find a proper way to use AI keeping a good control over how things are done.
It's not perfect of course, but allows to get good results so much quicker.
It gave more results to my personal projects that working a busy day job didn't have much time dedicated.
I was always starting new ones and lost interest when they got heavier, since there was just enough heavy lifting at work.
So overall I do see the issues, but with balance, can be really a great tool.
