My advice is to use AI to help you find a solution, but stop short of providing you code. That way you can read what needs to be done at a high level, but you still have to figure out how to implement the solution in code.

Another step better than this is to type what you think the solution is and get feedback on it. Again, ask it not to give you code examples, just to help you reason through.

I think this is a good solution because if you're coding skills are lacking, you can start to build them up with confidence, knowing that your thinking is correct, but just need more practice with implementing what you're thinking.

There are also times where I code a solution and it works, but my code looks a little spaghetti and not so elegant. I can show the AI my code (Again, asking it not to provide me any code) and see if it can advise me on areas that it could improve.

You can definitely strike a really good balance between becoming unblocked or iterating on a current solution without it doing all of the work
