Thats the problem, the most “noise” regarding AI is made by juniors who are wowed by the ability to vibe code some fun “sideproject” React CRUD apps, like compound interest calculators or PDF converters.

No mention of the results when targeting bigger, more complex projects, that require maintainability, sound architectural decisions, etc… which is actually the bread and butter of SW engineering and where the big bucks get made.
