My personal experience with any approach I tried ended up in a semi-failure state. I can't trust LLM and have to check everything myself to either actually solve a problem or be sure that the LLM did not invent things. This fact simply kills the usefulness of LLMs. They are not reliable and I waste more time trying to accomplish something just using the AI. If people around me were praising AI and I was the only one unable to find an approach, I would agree with your points. But it's not the case. The general perception of the AI tools is quite pessimistic.
