My comments stem from real world experience, since I do exist outside of my comments (although I understand it can be hard to imagine).
Every single person who claimed AI was a great help to their job in writing software that I've encountered was either inexperienced (regardless of age) or working solely on very simple tasks.
The fact that it's even remotely useful at all at such an early, primitive stage of development should give you pause.
When it comes to stuff like this, the state of the art at any given time is irrelevant. Only the first couple of time derivatives matter. How much room for growth do you have over the next 5-10 years?
