I find that using AI can sometimes help me get the ball rolling. Rather than having a blank page, I have some (sometimes shitty) code that I can start from. I have never used 100% of generated code in production.
I use it to generically explain things to me. I give it limited things and ask it to break it down or give me alternatives.
No different than googling skills, how I ask gets different results, and sometimes it’s far faster than digging and digging through forum posts or textbook style documentation. Other times it’s a waste of my time and I quickly move on.
I often refer to ai as an index for human knowledge. It’s pretty good at expanding on the context around what you ask it. It’s great for getting started or to help point you in other directions

I’ve heard someone comparing it to the famous rubber duck.

Yeah I agree. It’s often easier to start from something that’s wrong than a blank page.
