It is if it's something they couldn't do on their own before.

It's a magical moment when someone is able to AI code a solution to a problem that they couldn't fix on their own before.

It doesn't matter whether there are other people who could have fixed this without AI tools, what matters is they were able to get it fixed, and they didn't have to just accept it was broken until someone else fixed it.

It was an easy fix for someone who already knows how WiFi drivers work and functions provided to them by Linux kernel. I am not one of these people though. I could have fixed it myself, but it would take a week just to get accustomed to the necessary tools.
