I do think that's the big disconnect. There's jobs where you basically only ever create brand new code from scratch - writing lots of little scripts, creating new screens in a webapp, or whatever - and current AI tools can save a ton of time for that. There's also jobs where it's normal to spend a week figuring out what to change and then five minutes changing it, and current AI tools are worthless for that. Most jobs are somewhere in between those extremes, but the hype is coming from people pretty far on the "mostly writing new code" end.
