That's all true when you're working in a space where people have already solved and written about similar problems, for instance with web dev, or simple enterprise application dev. When you work in a problem space that is novel and tricky, googling or AI doesn't answer your questions (correctly).

Google wasn't a magic answer box, it was a collection of things people had written about the problems they faced. AI isn't a magic answer box either, it's trained to spit out the best guesses based on things people have written about the problems they faced. But all this is based on actual humans who are exploring, wrestling with problems, and writing things down. I don't think people can assume that AI will take all that over and push things forward.
