Posit: Many who are excited about AI are BA graduates
Who are trying to be relevant in the job market. Use any argument against AI and over 70% of the counter-arguments will involve the word "creative" in a pejorative context or as part of a personal attack, e.g. "You're obviously not very creative person.".
There's always a desire from that angle to "get more done with less", because it's the easiest way to increase the bottom line – cut costs.
A problem is that those who believe that AI can replace experienced engineering staff (at this point at least) aren't able to understand its limitations. Therefore they buy into the snake oil, because they don't have any other way to effectively contribute.
See this a lot in marketing.
