It should definitely not take the same amount of time to check someone's work as it does to do the work.
"AI today" changes every few months, they aren't more error prone than humans at medium complexity code, and debugging a problem is different than checking someone's work. (And not for nothing, but Code Generation LLMs are really good at finding bugs in code, if passed the code.)
That's not to mention that prompting AI is a skill that needs to be learned, despite LLMs being able to accept natural language prompts. Not learning how to use a tool and then claiming the tool isn't useful doesn't really say much about the tool.
There's a saying about how its impossible to convince someone of something if they're financially incentivized to remain unconvinced that I think applies to most people when they discuss AI.
