Depends on who you are and what you want.

Let's say I'm a writer of no skill who still wants attention. I could spend years learning to write better, but I still might not get any attention.

Or I could use AI to write something today. It won't be all that interesting, because AI still can't write all that well, but it may be better than I can do on my own, and I can get attention today.

If you care about your own growth (or even not dwindling) as a human, that's a trap. But not everyone cares about that...

This is exactly how I use AI at work—-to quickly generate funny meme images/inside jokes for a quick chuckle. I’m no artist and probably will never be one. My digital art skills amount to drawing stick figures in MS Paint.
