> The people at my job who are most positive about AI are those who didn't particularly enjoy programming.

At least two people I've worked with have become "AI Influencers" on social media. They were two of the least capable programmers I had ever worked with. Both super nice people, and I enjoyed their company, but both generated absolutely terrible code.

I think there's generally something to people who were sidelined by their lack of skill feeling empowered by AI.
