> Despite your own experiences with these tools it is imperative that they be in your toolbox.

Why is it imperative? Whenever I read comments like this I just think the author is cynically drumming up hype because of the looming AI bubble collapse.

Fair question. It is "imperative" for two reasons. The first, despite having rough edges now, I find these tools be actually useful so they are here to stay. The second, I think most developers will use them and make them part of their toolchain. So, if one wants to be in parity with their peers then it stands to reason they adopt these tools as well.

In terms of bubbles: Bubbles are economic concepts and they will burst but the underlying technology find its market. There are plenty of good open source models and open source projects like OpenCode/Toad that support them. We can use those without contributing (too much) to the bubble.

There's a financial AI bubble for sure - that's pretty much a mainstream opinion nowadays. But that's an entirely different thing from AI itself bubble-collapsing.

If you truly believe AI is simply going to collapse and disappear, you are deep in some serious cope and are going to be unpleasantly surprised.
