Yes definately, I do a lot of OT devops and if you want determinstic results then the best use of AI is to get it to write scripts that solve your problems and that you run outside of AI.

Often, the use of AI is a lazy case of not wanting to spend the time to understand the essence of the problem and solve it directly, often far more efficiently. (Not always, but often).

The ability of getting results that surpass your understanding, and quickly, is seducing, but you invariably end up being capped on the usefullness.

AI generally seems to raise anyone with the basic skills to "expert beginner" in almost any field, but it is then a big struggle to get past this stage, without substantial extra work.
