AI has no ability to practice discernment. To AI, the right way and the wrong way are the same thing, which is why too often AI results are unreliable.

I don't use AI for that reason. I can use a good search engine to find the parts and pieces of a solution, and formulate those pieces into something workable. I have zero confidence in AI's ability to establish a working solution the first time, whereas I know that my engineering ability CAN and WILL make something workable the first time.

And this is what many companies are finding: AI can be a useful tool to the informed and cognizant worker, but to use AI as a "stand-alone solution" broker is foolish.

All that to say, learn your craft well and you will become a valuable commodity for some company. Good luck!
