The best I can offer skeptics is the more you work with the tools the more productive you become. Because yes the tools are imperfect.

If you've had a dog you know that "dog training" classes are actually owner training.

Same with AI tools. I see big gains for people who spend time to train themselves to work within the limitations. When the next generation of tools come out they can adapt quickly.

If this sounds tedious, thats becuase it is tedious. I spent many long weekends wrestling with tools silently wrecking my entire codebase, etc. And that's what I had to do to get the productivity improvements I have now.
