Yes, you need to consider the AI as if it were a junior programmer that sometimes makes mistakes. I use it for boring work that can be quickly checked. For example, the other day I asked for a 'give me next workday' algorithm based on the code structure I had, and it worked fine.

It's just one more tool in the toolbox.
