I think those are valid points, and to further add to it, we'll see a bifurcation of what are currently called "software engineers"; those who adopt the technology because they consider it a craft, and those who fall behind by producing slop because they're just trying to leave for the day.

I agree with your statement. I'll leave with this: slop was there before AI got on the scene. We're discussing work culture, where the bare minimum is the way to the top, and the organization hires and allows that level of work. AI is just masking our own issues within a organization.
