AI Code assistants has made completing side projects so easy

I am a full stack developer with a full time job. I try to work on side projects like a lot of other developers.

In last ~10 years I have started 20+ projects and for each project spent anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months. I have completed just 2 projects which were fairly short(~4 week). So recently when started some big side project, There was almost no chance of me completing it. I was just doing it for fun.

All this changed with AI code assistants. I picked a fairly big project which involved writing crawlers for multiple sites. There was no chance of me completing it, until I started using AI code assistant. It sped up the development by 5-10x(can I call myself 10x developer now?). Completed the project in ~3 weeks.

Curious if others were able to do the same.

(This is not an Advertisement for AI code assistants. These has their own problems. I have less confidence in my product, Code reviews are difficult and I have go and make sure all security best practices are handled.)
