Th best value I get out of AI is just having "someone" to bounce ideas off of, or to get quick answers from. I find that it's a HUGE help if I need to write code/understand code in a language that I don't work with every day. I might get it to write me a function that takes X as input and outputs Y. I might get it to set up boilerplate. I have talked to people that have said "I don't even write code anymore". That's definitely not me. Maybe it's a skill issue, but yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat too.
