"AI" does not make anyone stronger. It destroys thought processes, curiosity and the ability to research on your own.

Seniors just use it to produce the daily LOC that resembles something useful. If mistakes are introduced, they have secured a new task for the next day.

There have always been seniors who exclusively worked on processes, continuous integration, hackish code-coverage that never works, "new" procedures and workflows just to avoid real work and dominate others.

The same people are now attracted to "AI" and backed by their equally incompetent management.

The reality is that non-corporate-forced open source contributions are falling and no serious existing project relies on "AI".

Generative "AI" is another grift brought to you by leaders who previously worked on telemedicine and hookup apps (with the exception of Musk who has worked on real things).
