I think both are correct and reflect people's situations at work. Some are doing the ikea thing, some are doing the automatic saws, and some are using the automatic saws to make the ikea things for someone else.

It's also why the opinions are so heated on this. There's many forms of management, and some play way better with the AI tools than others. Some people are doing the assembly line jobs and some are doing code ninja jobs. Some are actually doing engineering, and some are code monkeys who are paid the same range as the engineers and using the same tools.
