I've never had AI create working code anyway.

But it will generally point me in the right direction. It's useful for:

  1. Helping get your train of thought back in the right direction
  2. Automating what would be a lot of boilerplate/repetitive coding. Just beware you will still need to check it over.

You need to be skilled to spot the mistakes it will definitely make.
