See, using AI as the equivalet of super-IDE snippets or to generate things in isolation is probably really good! It's also categorically not the same thing as what all of the AI hypemen (including the OP) are describing, with it replacing wide swathes of software developers. It devolves into a motte and bailey argument where it is actually possible for AI to be a useful tool in a programmer's toolbox, and make people more productive in isolated ways, without also agreeing with frankly anything the OP thread is saying.
