I think it’s fair to say that AI yields a modest productivity boost in many cases when used appropriately

I think this is a mistake. The example in this post is some empirical evidence for that.

It's not clear that we can know in advance whether it's appropriate for any given usecase; rather it seems more likely that we are just pigeons pecking at the disconnected button and receiving random intermittent reinforcement.
