Only if the goal is to run the result and never have to update it or add features. Several of the good test projects I’ve made from scratch with AI (my title at work needs to be “Speaker to Silicon” because I’m usually tasked with experimenting with AI tools) have worked and looked great. Then someone wants a new feature. No problem, it adds it. Then you say, add that feature to this other part of the program, and it does it, but if you don’t look at the code, you realize it re-implemented it, so if you go back in a month and request a change, it only gets applied to the first place it finds. I had to constantly say “DRY! Don’t implement it twice, share the code!”

I mean, it’ll get better, but it ain’t there yet.
