The issue is, glib understanding replaces actual application.
Its one thing to have the AI work through the materials and explain it.
Its another thing to have lost a lot of the background information required to sustain that explanation.
Greater productivity, is of course, a subjective measure. If that's all that matters, then being glib is perfectly acceptable. But, the value of that productivity may change in a different context - for example, I find it very difficult to go back to AI-generated code some months later, and understand it - unless I already took the time earlier to discern the details.

I rarely use AI to generate code outside of the automatic suggestions my IDE gives me in my own coding style (my full time work is a code base almost entirely my own). What I use it for heavily is anything I previously used Google and documentation before, and in that context the AI solution is significantly better and it’s not even close.
