I think there's a key context difference here in play which is that AI tools aren't better than an expert on the language and code base that is being written. But the problem is that most software isn't written by such experts. It's written by people with very hazy knowledge of the domain and only partial knowledge of the languages and frameworks they are using. Getting it to be stylistically consistent or 100% optimal is far from the main problem. In these contexts AI is a huge help, I find.
