Them: "Let the AI do everything for you! You'll be so efficient!"
Also them: "You have to tell the AI exactly how to do everything or it'll do it wrong."
The reasoning circles all the way back around to: if you want the AI to do things right, you must first do it yourself and then ask the AI to replicate your work. Which is valid for repetitive work and is where AI shines.
But for novel things, consider doing it yourself with AI assistance rather than becoming an assistant to an AI.
