I can assure you that it is not so cut and dry yet. For some tasks the AI can be a great boon. For example if you are a junior programmer, AI can make you as productive as an intermediate programmer for writing new code, but it is of limited help in debugging it. Or if you can't draw zip or write content for a website, AI can do an OK job of that. But it's not going to be really creative. On the other hand, for certain tasks AI is at best the icing on the cake and at times a waste of time or worse. The dividing line is how much well structured data you have. Do you want the AI to answer the FAQ, apply the run book, or route requests? No problem. But do you want the AI to actually maintain a long context and work through a multifaceted problem? Don't even try this year. Then there is the issue of hallucinations and "projections". Hallucinations are reasonable lies that the AI will tell you because as it processes your request, it takes a wrong turn on the neural net. Projections when the AI tells you it did X, but in reality it simply theorized if it were to follow your instructions the answer would be the BS it gave you. The bottom line is that AI today is like Tesla’s FSD; even though it could drive you home, unless you want to risk running someone over, you still need to be in the driver seat and alert. My personal experience is that AI can only help you if you already know what you are doing. The more competent you are, the more you can get out of the AI. It is like a power tool; if you know what you are doing, you can do a lot. Otherwise, you will amputate a finger or worse.
