I agree with this take, in the main. I think the level of FUD elsewhere is probably unwarranted. Though I fully subscribe to the idea that it is very disruptive tech.

In the context of software engineering I am tending to see it as another layer of abstraction. Once upon a time there was perhaps not much above machine code / assembly, but now you can have quite a few layers providing abstractions over that ending up perhaps at Javascript, or maybe low-code tools. For me, AI sits somewhere vaguely in that category (though with a much higher level of sophistication).
