And here I am, being impressed that SOTA AI passes the Turing programming test for a human junior programmer(using your own interpretation of the skill levels involved). Let's at least appreciate that 10 years ago this level of computer intellect was science fiction. And while I'm very much a "junior developer" (not my day job and I do have a BSCS), I can still use AI productively for my personal backlog of things I'd like to accomplish, and it's been pretty helpful for me notwithstanding its limitations.

All I'm saying is it hasn't changed my life, and OP's characterization of the AI skeptics as essentially uninterested in learning or having sci-fi expectations is unfair. Some of us may simply be too experienced to get much out of it yet (if ever).
