Disagree. Poor engineers will go in circles with AI because they will under specify their tasks and fail to recognize improper solutions. Ultimately if you’re not thoughtful about your problem and critical about the solution you will fail. This is true with or without AI at the wheel.

But they move quickly around that circle making them feel much more productive. And if you don't need something outside of the circle it is good enough.
It's not an opinion, it's what research has shown many times. For example, they can ask the LLM about how to get started or what an experienced engineer might do, etc, as a research tool before writing code.
