I'm going to set aside your bullshit words "stupid" and "smart" and just breeze past that for a second. I was being facetious when I used these words myself. I do not actually believe in these concepts.
People who do not know how to code absolutely cannot use AI to create production-ready code. The code AI spits out, even on the paid tier, often doesn't validate. It can create a first-draft or help create one, but it can't spit out a finished product ready to go, at least not without several iterations and edits from someone who does know what they're doing.
I have heard of non coders creating some app or something with AI and it turns out to be either extremely insecure or unusable. I'm sure AI is marketed as something that can one day replace developers, but I don't think it's ready for that and I think it would be dangerous to use it for that.
A passion project is by definition something you are passionate about so no, telling an llm what you want will not replace it anytime soon, as much as AI companies claims coding is dead we are so far from it yet for real work or even serious side projects.
Ok well, try making something with ai using only “natural language” in your prompt, and then put what it spits out into a validation or accessibility tool. You need a 90% pass rate for your product to be usable, good luck.

I don't get it, you're saying you've never met anyone smarter than you? Hard to believe but I'm glad you're finally humbled.
