> Many have the attitude of finding one edge case that it doesn’t work well and dismiss AI as useful tool

Many programmers work on problems (nearly) *all day* where AI does not work well.

> AI gives you an approximated answer, it depends on you how to steer it to a good enough answer

Many programmers work on problem where correctness is of essential importance, i.e. if a code block is "semi-right" it is of no use - and even having to deal with code blocks where you cannot trust that the respective programmer did think deeply about such questions is a huge time sink.

> Some people are just not good at constantly learning things

Rather: some people are just not good at constantly looking beyond their programming bubble where AI might have some use.
