The enthusiasm so many devs show for it is also quite bizarre, saying things like "AI makes me so much more productive," with the implication that they will be its primary beneficiaries, and that it won't result in a massive reduction in demand, compensation, and status for developers, adversely affecting them. Even more bizarre when you realize these devs aren't the ones optimizing some popular video codec or writing avionics software for a fighter jet, but instead gluing together NPM packages--probably the first or second rung on on the software "innovator's dilemma" ladder of disruption.
