When I talk with programmers about usefulness of AI assistance, I offer a point of view that if an assistant can help you with generating boilerplate code it means your language and libraries failed you. Ideally you'd need no boilerplate, and expressing what you want in a programming language should be simpler than in a natural one.
The gotcha is, of course, that AI solves the problem right now, however inefficiently. And a perfect language may not happen ever.
