I personally look at it in a different way. Now, a rando on the street knowing nothing about everything can pop out arts rivaling an experienced illustrator. A completely clueless wet lab scientist can coerce copilot or GPT4 to cobble together an automated data analysis pipeline in a language that they know nothing about.
To a professional, those applications are toys, easily made and take little effort. But to someone who does not know anything about the work, it is amazingly useful and open up many possibilities. That is the power and the use cases for AI right now. They are tools to augment productivity, not replacing it. And in that regard, it is very successful imo.
Whether it will progress to the point where it can outright handle everything from start to finish or not is another question.
