People push back against comments like these. But, as you suggest, the win isn't about individual developers potentially increasing their productivity by some inflated amount. It's about baking more prediction and automation into more tools that people who aren't developers use. Which is probably part of where the general meme of lack of interest in entry level programmers come from.

Actually surprising when programmers (especially) push back. A couple years ago, people were doing copy/paste from ChatGPT to their IDEs. Now, they generally work at a higher level of abstraction in dedicated tools like Coded or Cursor. Why would other functions prefer the copy/paste lifestyle?
