If your company offer 'training' with 'AI expert' and 'prompt engineers', I urge you to attend. It's very gratifying, it cure imposter syndrome, and you will understand who is behind the hype and their technical level.
(And it is already useful, just not as much as some people sell it)
Of course :) It’s interesting to hear the ideas people come up with, but so far no one has demonstrated any practical results that would significantly improve the quality of work in my field. It has, however, increased the amount of slop that I need to deal with on a daily basis. Worse yet, it is not always programming slop :)

In a general context, I agree. When it comes to programming, however, my experience has been different. If this technology were presented more modestly / realistically, it likely wouldn’t have attracted billions of dollars in investment and the hype. I think this is exactly what many sensible people point to when debating whether this is a bubble :)
