Meh, that was the sales pitch. But name one tool in development that actually does what the sales pitch claimed. Knowing how to get useful info out of AI does involve knowing how to talk to it. Just like getting the most out of gitlab means knowing how they intend for you to organize your jobs. So AI is just like every other tool, overhyped, underdelivering, and has "some" use.
Git and even GitLab does its job quite well.
IDEs do A LOT of heavy lifting for many devs.
AI was supposed to boost productivity and eventually replace developers altogether.
One of those things is not like the otters.
What the snake oil people never bring up is that companies do try and replace devs with AI and prompts.
Then realize it doesn’t work as non-engineers don’t have the skillset to do it and then come crawling back to engineers to fix the mess.
