Citations needed. Jon Stewart is in a place to speak on the impact of AI to his industry, considering he is an industry expert (he has what, 30 to 40 years in Hollywood. That makes him an expert of screenwriting/acting. You only need to know so much to then comment on the impact of AI on your industry. Further, we don't know his personal experiences and the data he is looking at. Let's also take into account recently there was the largest strike that was largely about AI. Given how long that lasted, we would think that there was a lot of extra research done on the topic. Further, Jon was wanting to do a series of segments about AI on his Apple-hosted show. He has a history of researching his topics. Given that history, I would guess that Jon Stewart actually knows quite a bit about AI at this point. He is not a fan-boy though and so that knowledge wouldn't show through him gushing about LLMs)
The mistake I see is we are applying Jon Stewarts comments to the software industry. Perhap that mis-application is due to recent biases from things like Devin. Mr Stewart OTOH is really more speaking about the impact of AI to the acting industry, his industry, for which he is an expert. Jon Stewart historically brings the receipts, he routinely researches the topics he speaks about. If you recall, he was in the habit of reading the books of many of his guests. Based on that history, I would flip your comment on its head.
