Yes, there is A LOT of boilerplate that is sped up by AI. Every time I interface with a new service or API, I don't have to carefully read the documentation and write it by hand (or copypaste examples), I can literally have the AI do the first draft, grok it, test it, and iterate. Often times the AI misses latest developments, and I have to research things myself and fix code, explain the new capabilities, then the AI can be used again, but in the end it's still about 20x faster.
