I've seen applications that are very useful. YouTuber Berm Peak used ai to bypass the controller of the world's worst ebike so it wouldn't become e-waste and fix it's worst flaws. Yes new firmware could have been written from scratch. But he fixes bikes. He's not a software developer.
It's like you don't need a ball point pen to write, you could use a quill and save the plastic waste. But quills are so slow you don't even consider it.
A dude DYI'ing his bike isn't something to even take into account...
Like saying screwdrivers are useful because I used one once to hammer in a nail because I didn't have a hammer and I had no idea what I was doing... Doesn't mean the screwdriver was useful in that instance, it just means I was too incompetent to use the right tool and knowledge for the job.
I'm old enough to remember Hypercard. It was a revolution for regular people to create the one off app they needed to fix their own problems.
Hypercard was a nightmare for professional development. But it didn't matter. It was a tool for regular people.
So in other words... it's a big deal to people who don't know how to do a lot of stuff.
I actually know how to write software, and I refuse to work on any code an LLM has touched. Critical thinking is one of the most important parts of programming, and LLMs can't do it. That results in broken spaghetti code that's a nightmare to fix, because the AI never stopped to think about maintainability, low coupling, or the actual purpose of the software. It can't stop and think.
If Berm Peak would rather use AI than hire a software developer or write his own code, then I hope all of Berm Peak's customers use AI to fix their bikes instead of going to him.
It's also a big deal to the extremely competent developers. The other person I saw use AI which makes me want to try it is Limor Fried. I watched one of her videos where she input a 50 page microcontroller pdf and got useable io mapping header files for her c code. Matching pins to ports in a doc that's spreads the info out across many pages is a huge grind.
It's not like I'm illiterate, but I'm open to using a plastic ball point pen instead of catching and killing a goose to make my own quill.
