To be fair there is a certain level of blindly-pragmatic "so AI can help me with programming - so what! It takes just as long to converse with it as for me to code it myself" - which is mostly true. But I think those people fail to grok the sheer ridiculous power of what they're saying - that these tools are close enough they're nearly at parity. Sure, the error-correcting architectures aren't sufficient yet for them to run unsupervised, but this is crazy already.
