I wouldn't go so far as to say I have the opposite experience but it's been good for me when I treat it like a junior developer. If you give them freedom to come up with the solution they'll totally miss the point. If I give them direction on a small piece of functionality with clear inputs and outputs then they'll get 90% of the way there.

So far I think AI is a good way to reduce mundane work but coming up with ideas and concepts on it's own is a bridge too far. An example of this is a story I read about a kid committing suicide because of an AI driven fantasy. It was so focused on maintaining the fantasy it couldn't step back and say, "Whoa. This is a human being I'm talking to and they're talking about real self-harm. I think it's time to drop the act." This will result in people being treated as financial line items (moreso) and new avenues for cyber attacks.
