I tend to agree with this.

Using an AI to do something you haven't a clue about is ... unlikely to be useful beyond the basics of what you initially specify. Using one to do something that you actually have some skill and knowledge of is a force multiplier. Knowing when to say "no" is just as important as that initial specification, IMHO, probably more so.
