> I hear most loudly from software engineers far removed from ordinary non-technical end users
I am absolutely not far removed from non-technical end users. They are my client base, ultimately. As a freelancer I focus on building real things that make things better for people whose faces and voices I get to know. GenAI will be useless to them, because it is antithetical to what they do.
And that focus is only getting keener; I want nothing to do with the AI-generated web.

So what I'm hearing is, "I agree very strongly with the people who pay me." Or to put it in your words:
"MY product is a powerful tool for creators who wish to save time."
"THEIR product is just a poorly-thought-out slop generator"
