>I mean, if we want to not talk about economics that’s fine, but can the AI actually do junior work at the same price?
Even if we assume it can then not hiring Juniors still doesn't make sense - where will seniors come from in the future?
This is a collective action problem. Its too easy to claim the answer is "we'll hire our competitors juniors when they become seniors" and then every company wants to do that and not train their own juniors. Soon no one is willing to train juniors because theyll just leave for the companies that dont train juniors.
That's a problem for the next CEO of course
