Got any evidence on that or is it just “vibes”? I have my doubts that AI tools are helping good programmers much at all, forget about “running circles” around others.

I don't know about "running circles" but they seem to help with mundane/repetitive tasks. As in, LLMs provide greater than zero benefit, even to experienced programmers.

My success ratio still isn't very high, but for certain easy tasks, I'll let an LLM take a crack at it.
