AI is not very good at single threaded code which is widely regarded as much easier. The breathless demos don't generalize well when you truly test on data not in the training set, it's just that most people don't come up with good tests because they take something from the internet, which is the training set. But the code most people need to write is to do tasks that are bespoke to individual businesses/science-experiments/etc not popular CS problems that there are 1000 tutorials online for. When you get into those areas it becomes apparent really quickly that the AI only gets the "vibes" of what code should look like, it doesn't have any mechanistic understanding.
