So while I don't disagree with you at all, in terms of AI being a bubble, none of that is why the tech is being so hyped up. The current speculative hype push is being driven by two factors:

1. The promise that AI will replace most if not all developers

2. Alternatively, that AI will turn every developer into a 10-100x developer

My personal opinion is that it'll end up being one of many tools that's situationally useful, eg you're 100% right in that having it as an additional code review step is a great idea. But the amount of money being pumped into the industry isn't enough to sustain mild use cases like that and that isn't why the tech is being pushed. The trillions of dollars being dumped into improving clang tidy isn't sustainable if that's the end use case

The AI hype train is promising to deliver the 20 year old developer with 30 years of experience that a company can pay $10 an hour.
