Say i buy into your mysticism based take, is it a useful tool if it blows up in damn well near every professionals face?

lets say i accept you and you alone have the deep majiks required to use this tool correctly, when major platform devs could not so far, what makes this tool useful? Billions of dollars and environment ruining levels of worth it?

I'd say the only real use for these tools to date has been mass surveillance, and sometimes semi useful boilerplate.

It doesn't, that's ego-preserving cope. Saying that this stuff doesn't work for "damn well near every professional" because it doesn't work for you is like a thief saying "Everybody else steals, why are you picking on me"? It's not true, it's something you believe to protect your own self-image.

Honestly people are in such a weird place with this shit. I'm not saying don't read the fucking code - but I managed to get my setup to write 100k lines of indistinguishable SWE code in a week or so. The main limitation was my reading speed. This is something like a 10x speedup for me.
