I'm pretty much in agreement with your take. We have to remember that many of these "tech bros" have something to gain by their "sky is falling" takes. Attention. We live in an attention economy and we often forget this when taking in information. Others spreading this nonsense want the state to step in to slow things down so their company can catch up. Others want to pump their tech stocks. Its really over hyped. There is real value in many of these tools but we are no where near replacing problem solving engineers.

One colleague of mine told me recently after finding and fixing a bug in an implementation of a open source tool, "No AI will fix this bug, at least not yet. There wasn't a Stackoverflow post or blog post about it. No documentation. Just years of looking at code and knowing the system and being to stubborn to stop."
