>I have definitely observed people convince themselves online that CoPilot or ChatGPT even is helping them "improve their productivity" or some such. It is obvious that they are fooling themselves, badly. If you push them, they immediately say "oh yeah, it makes mistakes, but I can correct them" etc. So they just feel like it's useful, even when it's just making them do more work.
That mistakes can be made doesn't mean time isn't being saved. Everybody makes mistakes as is and first try code isn't typically being pushed human or not. The presence of mistakes means nothing.
Frankly, you're the one who comes off delusional here. "Most people are telling me one thing but they can't be right because i believe so so they must be lying to themselves" isn't normal behavior, especially when your biggest argument that they must all be wrong and you right is that the machine makes mistakes. That's very weak.
Take a step back and really look at what you're saying.
