I think you’d have to be a very limited kind of developer - only working in some tiny niche - to make AI completely useless for you. Most programmers occasionally have to do tedious but simple throw-away tasks, or tasks in systems they aren’t familiar with. AI absolutely can save you time in these cases.

For all we know, AI cannot in any way save this developer time.
Some developers know their area so well that there’s no reason for them to waste time dictating non-code into a guessing machine.
