I like solving problems but I hate coding. Wasting 20 minutes because you forgot a semicolon or something is not fun. AI let's me focus on the problem and not bother with the tedious coding bit.

That comment makes me deeply suspicious about your debugging skills. And the formatting of your code.
I write code to solve problems for my own use or for my hobby electronics projects. Asking chatgpt to write a script is faster than reading the documentation of some python library.
Just last week it wrote me a whole application and gui to open a webpage at a specific time. Yeah it breaks after the first trigger but it works for what I need.
This doesn't even make sense, forgetting a semicolon is immediately caught by the compiler. What positive benefits does AI provide here?
It depends on the language. Javascript is fine without semicolons until it isn't. Of course, a linter will solve this more reliably than AI.
