The fact that you can't trust it makes it a problem for novices. My view has been that it can help experts remove some of the mundane stuff that takes time but needs to get done. You can think of it as an assistant you always need to check on but since you are an expert you can recognize when there is a problem.
Lately, I've revised my view a bit. AI can get novices started on getting a project done and it can be a source of information for the project. Googling works but I think it's much faster querying an LLM. It's good for certain types of projects but I wouldn't trust it for important projects unless I can double check but the double checking will make it a drag to use. I think LLMs do have a place for novices but you have to be careful.
