I think it's also that the potential is far from being realized yet we're constantly bombarded by braindead marketers trying to convince us that it's the best thing ever already. This is tiring especially when the leadership (not held back by any technical knowledge) believes them.
I'm sure AI will get there, I also think it's not very good yet.
Engineering is just problem solving, nobody judges structural engineers for designing structures with another Simpson Strong Tie/No.2 Pine 2x4 combo because that is just another easy (and therefore cheap) way to rapidly get to the desired state. If your client/company want to pay for art, that's great! Most just want the thing done fast and robustly.
