Unintentionally mean sounding statement but...

From my observation, the people that are the most excited about AI are low skilled/unskilled people in that domain. If said people treated AI as a learning tool, everything would be great (I think AI can be a really effective teacher if you're truly motivated to learn). The problem is those people think they "now have the skill", even though they don't. They essentially become walking examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect (the cognitive bias where people with limited knowledge or competence in a particular domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence)

The problem with being able to produce an artifact that superficially looks like a good product, without the struggle that comes with true learning, is you miss out on all the supporting knowledge that you actually need to judge the quality of the output and fix it, or even the taste to be able to guide the agent in good patterns vs poor patterns.

I'd encourage people that are obsessed with cutting edge AI and running 5000 Claude agents simultaneously to vibe code a website to take a step back and use the AI to teach them fundamentals. Because if all you can do is prompt, you're useless.
