AI models are extremely bad at original thinking, so any thinking that is offloaded to a LLM is as a result usually not very original, even if they’re very good at treating your inputs to the discussion as amazing genius level insights.

100%, at my work we use AI for a lot of stuff but I literally just finished a task where they AI couldn't complete it with a simple prompt. The code was absolute horror show and asking it to fix it is beyond most people since it's terse and needlessly complex.

To finish the task I had to use my experience and rewrite the shitshow by writing function signatures and have the AI do the implementation based on simple requirements such as using a set data structure etc.

The AI just tried and failed 10 times before I gave up on it. AI absolutely sucks at a lot of stuff but it's still been a massive time saver for me personally.
