The thing is, when you dig into the claims many people make when they say that they get a 10x productivity boost using "AI" its usually some basic tasks that either generates boilerplate code or performs a fancy autocomplete and while those are great, in no way it supports their original claim.
I think people just want to be part of the hype and use the cool new technology whenever possible. We've seen this over and over again: Machine Learning, Blockchains, Cryptos, "Big Data", "Micro Services", "Kubernetes", etc.
I just don't think the current design of "AI" will take us there..

And that are just a tiny upgrade over what IDEs can do. When I used Android Studio, the code basically write itself due to the boilerplate surrounding your business logic. And once I got a basic structure down, I feel like I only write 5 to 10 characters each line (less for data types). And the upgrade is both positive and negative at the same time, it boils down to luck to actually get good suggestions.
