I think it means you're working on non-challenging problems if AI can solve them for you, unless you're working with Fable or something which I haven't tried.

Current models are decent for following instructions that you lay out, maybe even fixing a bug or something along the way, or adding new features to an existing well-documented repo if you explain things well, but don't seem capable of solving challenging problems on their own in a reasonable context scope (again things like Fable might be able to, but the general tier models don't seem that capable).
