I agree going back and forth with an AI for 4.5 hours is usually a sign something has gone wrong somewhere, but this is incredibly narrow thinking. Being an open-ended problem solver is the most valuable skill you can have. AI is a huge force multiplier for this. Instead of needing to tap a bunch of experts to help with all the sub-problems you encounter along the way, you can just do it yourself with AI assistance.
That is to say, past a certain salary band people are rarely paid for being hyper-proficient with tools. They are paid to resolve ambuguity and identify the correct problems to solve. If the correct problem needs a tool that I'm unfamiliar with, using AI to just get it done is in many cases preferable to locating an expert, getting their time, etc.
