I disagree, but it’s largely a matter of expectations. I don’t expect them to solve hard problems for me. That’s currently still my job. But when I’m writing new code, even for a legacy system, they can save a lot of time in getting the initial coding done, helping write comments, unit tests, and so on.

It’s not doing difficult work, but it saves a lot of toil.
