Write your code by hand, but AI still serves as something of a stack overflow and code completion tool. Also good for writing tedious things like regex or little one-off utility scripts as well as a first crack at unit tests. Using it to actually write big blocks of important code is a no-no in my opinion as it produces what I would characterize as slop, even if it technically works.

This is exactly my conclusion, to the letter.
