I only really have sympathy for people "seeing the light" about #AI if they're new to the software industry. If you're new then it will be easy to be duped by hype, since you don't have the experience of previous cycles or gold-rushes.

But the old timers should have known better. Churning out code via ML, which neither you nor the ML system understands, is always going to be a losing strategy which reduces productivity and quality. There's a place for templates and boilerplate generation, but that already existed long before the bullshit generators. Old timers should know that with software the devil is always in the details, so believing that you can operate only via high level descriptions of what the program ought to do is only fooling yourself.
