Interesting opinion! I am retired and only program and write books for fun now, so my experience is likely not relevant: I have used co-pilot with Emacs and VSCode for the last year and it truly does save time. When I write, I like to ingest several pages into ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude 2, and ask things “any suggests for new topics for me to write about?”, etc. I find the technology useful. Less useful, but fun are open source projects like open interpreter using local models. I am not totally disagreeing with you, the level of hype is epic.
