alt Hacker NewsNot to refute your point but I’ve met overly confident people with “AI skills” who are “extremely productive” with it, while producing garbage without knowing, or not being able to tell the difference.

I've not really seen this outside of extremely junior engineers. On the flip side I've seen plenty of seniors who can't manage to understand how to interact with AI tools come away thinking they are useless when just watching them for a bit it's really clear the issue is the engineer.
Garbage to whom? Are we talking about something that the user shudders to think about, or something more like a product the user loves, but behind the scenes the worst code ever created?
They just shovel the garbage on someone else who has to fact check and clean it up.
you can say that about overly confident people with "xyz" skills.
You're describing lack of care and lack of professionalism, fire these people, nothing to do with the tools, it's the person using it the problem.
