My impression is that the people who are most excited about these tools are people like tech journalists and "solopreneurs" (gag), who have been tech adjacent but never formally learned to code and now think that they don't need software engineers to achieve their vision anymore.

"Am I a programmer? A lowly programmer? Of course not! I'm an ideas guy." As the plot unfolds - it turns out the guy has no idea how to do anything. All he does is enter AI prompts and then lie that he has yet another fantastic idea.
