What people are calling "AI" these days is nothing but a glorified
interpolation algorithm, boosted by having access to an internet's load
of data it can interpolate from to give it a superficial semblance of
"intelligence".  The algorithm is literally unable to produce correct
code besides that which has already been written (and published online)
by someone else.  Ask it to write code that has an existing, correct
implementation, and you have a chance of getting correct, working code.
Ask it to write something that has never been written before... I'd
really look into taking up life insurance before putting the resulting
code in production.
