I would say "only if you can review said work yourself alone", rather than "do".
I'm an experienced developer, but I don't count myself as a web dev or a python dev; I can review the web and python stuff I get out of the AI (sometimes I need to ask the AI follow-up questions so I can find official documentation for what it did), but I can't write it.
I think you could eventually do it then, it would just take you longer.
If "eventually" counts, I can say I have "run" a marathon (I have walked that distance in one session, or if you don't like that verb I can sum all the various occasions I've run and that sum almost certainly exceeded 42.2 km before I finished school).
But the difference I allude to here is more like how "book reviewer" is a different job than "book author": yes, if you can review a book, you can also write one. Eventually.
