Personally I'm using these tools for coding, research, and writing. Anyone who doesn't understand how much they can accelerate these tasks when used effectively are going to get left in the dust. I've spoken to colleagues who don't seem to get it as well, it's strange to me
I've had the same experience and agree. I've talked to engineers who initially have the same standoff-ish opinion, then after a few weeks of using the tools end up changing their minds and adopting them.
