AI is fine if you know what you're doing and can correct the mistakes it makes (i.e. use it as fancy code completion)

I'm not a developer and i havent touched code for over 10 yrs, but when i heard about my company pushing AI tools on the devs, i thought exactly what you said. It should be a tool for experienced devs who already know what they're doing....

Lo and behold they did the opposite... They fired all the senior people and pushed AI on the interns and new grads.... and then expected AI to suddenly make the jr devs work like the expensive Sr devs they just fired...

Wtf

Yeah, it makes no sense. AI is at best a replacement for junior devs and interns.
