I've been an engineer at FAANG. I think the problems consultants face are simpler than the ones confronting engineers who need to become expert at million line code bases. There are coding standards, styles, security practices. I think AI would help when boiler plate is needed but otherwise it would be a dicier proposition. But there is another issue that I think is long term. The apprenticeship of a top engineer is difficult. If the result of "AI shortcuts" is a less skilled engineer profession there will be considerable downsides in the future. I have read that the ability of people to navigate is negatively impacted by a reliance on google maps.
