This sentiment perfectly captures the coping stance of all AI optimists. They claim AI can basically do human work which makes it powerful and paradigm shifting, but as soon as you mention all the shortcomings, they shift the goal post and suddenly it's "on yeah, no, AI is actually just good at helping humans do stuff". Ok but if that's the case, what is the argument in the first place? AI is just another tool in the engineer's toolchain, so what? An engineer using AI will replace me... ok, but why? I'm an engineer. I can use AI if I want. If I choose not to, it's presumably because it didn't make me more productive at my job. So why would.... like I just don't see the argument, because there's no real argument.
