I've been using AI for coding for 6 weeks or more. The power is undeniable. But the risks and time sinks are just as undeniable. I'm still not convinced that my project wouldn't be just as far along if I'd written it myself. I think of it as a carpenter who is adept at using hand tools and who has been given access to a power tool shop with every power tool there is. He needs to build a nice little cabinet. Would his first few projects take him longer just because he doesn't know how to use the power tools and has to throw out a bunch of messed up work?
