In my experience over the last couple years, lists like this won’t move the needle at all. The AI zealots reject anything that calls into question the AI stuff, usually appealing to “just wait, better models/agents/guardrails imminent” and claiming that anecdotal productivity gains are worth the risk. The people concerned about AI already are concerned and just fall back to “I told you so”. Unfortunately the decision makers seem to still be following the zealots promising wondrous productivity, profit, and a future full of flying cars.

If by 'zealots' you mean the vast majority of developers, who are using AI tools in one way or another.

The AI is already substantially better than most humans for a huge spectrum of at least narrow tasks. Those 'skills' will expand in scope, the evidence is overwhelming and unequivocal.

Within 12 months it will be considered a 'security concern' to not have AI at least to some degree of autonomous review.

It's very easy to overstate the impact of AI (and sometimes it's annoying), but it's just unreasonable to be in 'denial' at this stage.

The only concern really is how, when, and with what kind of oversight we use the new tools - that that 'they are used'.

Can you list a view tasks that AI is better at then other tools? Not humans mind you, because that is unimpressive, I mean other deterministic tools.

For example, I'd rather use a calculator to do calculations than ask an LLM to do it. I'd rather use LanguageTool for grammar than asking an LLM to do it. Id RTFM then have an LLM summarize it.
