Sounds like people drinking the Kool-Aid now.
I don't reject that AI has use cases. But I do reject that it is promoted as "unprecedented amplifier" of human xyz anything. These folks would even claim how AI improves human creativity. Well, has this been the case?

Yes. Example: If you've never programmed in language X, but want to build something in it, you can focus on getting from 0 to 1 instead of being bogged down in the idiosyncrasies of said language.

For many of us, the answer is an emphatic yes.
For me, this is entirely true.
I'm progressing with my side projects like I've never before.
