Came here to say exactly this.

That all the naysayers are missing the tons of small wins that are happening every single day by people using AI to write code, that weren't possible before.

I specified in a thread a few weeks ago that we manage a small elixir-rust library, and I have never coded rust in my life. Sure, it's about 20 lines of rust, mostly mapping to the underlying rust lib, but so far I've used claude to just maintain it (fix deprecations, perform upgrades, etc).

This simply wasn't possible before.
