You are failing to recognise all of the hard work which goes into "prompt engineering" to get AI to magically work!

  It's the hardest work of all, it's basically voodoo, or put more generously, alchemy. Thankfully we have progressed so this time it will probably take less than 1000 years to progress to full blown chemistry :-)

    Its more and more of a science everyday

      Yes, a more correct comparison would be early medicine: a science, but still filled with leeches and lancets. Oh, and another thing, we still aren't able to quantify if AI coding is a net benefit. In my use cases the biggest benefit I get from it is as an enhanced code search, basically. Which has value, but I'm not sure it's a "$1 trillion per year business sector" kind of value.
