I actually agree with the doubt of it reducing work in general. In my experience it depends a lot on the person who is using an AI agent.

I have seen it multiple times that people were using ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot to, without thinking about it, paste some code into their application and then mindlessly removing and adding code based on the AIs responses until it finally worked. In the end the devs didn’t know why it worked and the implementation was rather bad.

Of course it lets you generate boilerplate code and I use Copilot for this purpose all the time. But you have to pay extra attention and recognize it when the AI is NOT generating boilerplate code.
