I agree and even think that making boilerplate code more easy to write is detrimental to the quality of a codebase.

But to me the core thing is that code is literally about removing tedium. If your code is tedious, you have all the tools at your disposal to make something automatic, or iterate over a collection, or or or... "AI is good for boilerplate" elides "Why the fuck are you writing boilerplate?"
