"Many believe AI is the real deal. In narrow domains, it already surpasses human performance. Used well, it is an unprecedented amplifier of human ingenuity and productivity."
Sounds like people drinking the Kool-Aid now.
I don't reject that AI has use cases. But I do reject that it is promoted as "unprecedented amplifier" of human xyz anything. These folks would even claim how AI improves human creativity. Well, has this been the case?
Same, I would have given up on them long ago, I no longer code at all now. Why would I when the latest models can do it better, faster and without the human limitations of tiredness, emotional impacts etc.

Yes. Example: If you've never programmed in language X, but want to build something in it, you can focus on getting from 0 to 1 instead of being bogged down in the idiosyncrasies of said language.
