If people need AI assistance to handle all their "boilerplate" all the time, the much larger problem is needing so much damn boilerplate written all the time.

The job of anyone developing an application framework, whether that's off the shelf or in-house, is to reduce the amount of boilerplate any individual developer needs to write to an absolute bare minimum. The ultimate win isn't to get "AI to write all your boilerplate." It's to not need to write boilerplate at all.

I really don't mind boilerplate nearly as much as most people here on HN seem to. To me it's really no biggie if it helps structure things and make them explicit. I think it kind of goes along with the idea that typing code is not what takes the largest amount of time when you're doing software development. But the fact that I prefer explicit over implicit is another area where I think I diverge from the HN herd.
