I don't think it was that strong of an over-generalization. AI doesn't seem to help out in the same way a human would. My teammates will push back and ask for proof of effort (a PR, some typedefs, a diagram, etc.). And sometimes they'll even know how to solve my problem since they have experience with the codebase.
On the other hand you have AI which, out of the box, seems content to go along with anything and will happily write code for me. And I've never seen it have a single insight on the same level as my teammates. All of which is to say, AI doesn't really feel like something you can properly "ask" something. It's especially far away from that when it's just generating code and nothing else.
