A lot of the boosterism seems to come from those who never had the ability in the first place, and never really will, but can now hack a demo together a little faster than before. But I'm mostly concerned about those going through school who don't even realize they're undermining themselves by reaching for AI so quickly.

Perhaps more importantly, those boosters may never have had the ability to really model a problem in the first place, and didn't miss it, because muddling through worked well enough for them. Many such cases.
