I agree there are many more great resources but also many more terrible ones which will take your money or attention and give you barely anything in return.

Personally, I’d like to see the data/research behind the “3x” claim to buy it. Especially when it is hard to imagine Sam Altman as an unbiased observer when it comes to benefits of AI.

One angle to these multipliers would be this:
A generalist programmer can take other tasks of sw-engineering than just programming with the support of ChatGPT. Like DevOps, DBA and test-automation. For small team or company that is then actually saving or postponing FTE hires
There's a guy on youtube called clearcode. He will teach you how to make games, in a Bob Ross voice...pretty much from scratch. You can also use ChatGPT to help you out.
The resources for learning are so much better. Socratic method of just asking questions is now possible with AI.
I think Sam Altman said that he is seeing x3 productivity increase from AI helping out programmers.
