This is a phrase that's easy to interpret in a dangerously wrong way. Here's a clarification:
If you have a heart attack and are still alive and talking, both an AED and CPR are inappropriate.*
If you have a heart attack and die, then both an AED and CPR are very appropriate and might bring you back.
* And even in this case the emergency response medics will put AED electrodes on your chest so it will be ready to use in case you crash.
