That depends heavily on the framing. AI right now is overrated, it can do a ton of stuff, but rarely anything useful. AI in the (near) future however will eat all our jobs and everything else.
It's always worth keeping in mind under what restrictions current AI still operates. ChatGPT never saw a compiler or a shell, never could test its code. It's pure book-knowledge without any practical experience. Yet it still can produce quite good code, at least for small problems. What it might be capable of once it has access to a compiler and runtime environment could far surpass what we have today. But it's speculation, since we don't have that yet.
