> AI is only as good as the person using it

I think it might be even worse than that. It seems to be a multiplier for the Dunning-Kruger effect. Possibly because being trained to exhibit positive demeanor means that it will always tell you you're the best, no matter what.

Not sure why I saw this getting downvoted. This is exactly what is happening to that person, they think they are way more capable then they really are that's why they're taking on hard challenges and high complexity tasks when they're not ready for it.

And I do think it's important to be aware of this. When I've got a good idea, the agent says, "Good idea!" When I've got a bad idea, the coding agent also says, "Good idea!" And I'm most inclined to just go with what when I'm outside my realm of expertise, because that's the time when the coding agent promises to save me the most time. Because developing a proper understanding of things like the problem space and tech stack is often the most time-consuming part of the job.
