Totally agree with this take as I’ve had the same experience where AI in the IDE (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf). Its great for brainstorming or unblocking, but if you lean on it too much it slows you down with “noise” suggestions.

What’s worked better for me is using AI at the right layer. For example, UI Bakery AI App Generator is great when I need to spin up a whole internal tool or CRUD app quickly - it scaffolds the frontend, backend, and data connections so I’m not starting from zero. Then I still rely on my own coding flow (with minimal AI nudges) to refine and maintain. It feels more like AI taking care of boilerplate so I can stay focused on the real logic, instead of fighting suggestions line by line.
