I suspect you have more faith in both AI and people than I do :-)
There are absolutely places AI can be super useful - but they're usually not in very general situations, they're narrow. Quickly looking up relevant references in a context easily checked for correctness, for example. But I fear the "narrow" but gets lost and people want to depend on it a lot more than they should - for example, by hiring a junior and hoping AI will shore up the difference.
Ah well - self correcting problem. Might be an expensive lesson, but /shrug
