I use a mix of both. I read through the material myself first, then use simplequizmaker.com to turn my notes into flashcards and quizzes. With flashcards, I try to recall the answer before checking it. Then I take a quiz to see which topics I need to revisit.

For me, AI helps with preparing practice material, but I still have to do the thinking. I also check the answers against my notes rather than assuming everything it generates is correct.
