I was just giving it as an example of how there are domains where AI assistance have little or no benefit. Even if you used them for searching for resources or instructions how to achieve something, they come up with nothing useful, or lead you in the direction you do not want to go. It is just like searching with Google: If you search for the thing that 90% of the people are searching for, your answer will be in the first page. If you search for something outside that, you have to skip many pages, or even not being able to find it at all.

One could also conclude that a large portion of software engineering is rather is mostly implementation of things that have been implemented many times before and that only a small portion consist of real software engineering where you have to develop code for a problem that nobody ever wrote before or that require a deep understanding of the problem domain.

Strong +1. That's one of the reasons I enjoy using LLMs, cause I'm often using it for the pieces of code which I don't even find rewarding to write; it's just glue code which I know has been written 1000 times over, which _I've_ already written 1000 times over across different projects.
