What you are saying may have made sense at the start of 2025 where people were still using github copilot tab auto completes(atleast I did) and was just toying with things like cursor, but unsure.
Things have changed drastically now, engineers with these tools(like claude code) have become unstoppable.
Atleast for me, I have been able to contribute to the codebases i was unfamiliar with, even with different tech stacks. No, I am not talking about generating ai slop, but I have been enabled to write principal engineer level code unlike before.
So i don't agree with the above statement, it's actually generating real value and I have become valuable because of the tools available to me.
