No, because that’s the point. It’s not intelligent because intelligence is a human characteristic.

And yet "slapping the keyboard faster" is all that AI does. It doesn't design architecture. It doesn't think. It doesn't reason. All it does is search for and copy-paste code from elsewhere on the internet. If you're lucky it might even be code that works and does what you want it to.

It can translate one language into another but we already had transpilers for that.

It can find bugs quickly but we already had static analysis. It also generates many plausible looking false positives.
