Do you find yourself still trying to use AI tools for the synthesis portion of writing/coding, or have you gone back to the 'manual' ways?

I've pretty much completely dropped it for writing (but still use it for catching issues with clarity or logical flow afterwards). I've yet to get away from it for coding. Perhaps I keep trying with coding because I feel I'm doing something wrong (and because for a a little my performance was tied to usage of it...).
