Is the AI overproducivity a lie?

I tried an area where I just blitz AI on all the jobs I haven't had time to do or random projects I forgot about. Feeling hyper-productive moving these projects along but really the end result is rarely very good unless you are in on it, checking each step of the way and guiding it properly.. Like don't get me wrong I think i'm more productive with AI but i'd looove if i could get AI to advance my other projects without so much handholding and damn expensive lol Has anyone else had some successful tips of driving these other projects without having to be so hands-on haha?
