They're not going to try to do the job, they're going to hire cheaper, worse SWEs to manipulate AI... and then things will come apart pretty quickly :) But they'll still have someone else to blame.

Not a good take though, IMO. They're literally a tool that can teach you how to use them, or anything else.

They're literally a tool that can teach you how to use them, or anything else. I disagree. In their current incarnation, LLMs require a human subject matter expert to determine if the output is valid. In the project manager team lead example, the LLM won't tell you if the database is sized correctly, or if you even need a database.
- DebtDeflation 2y ago>they're going to hire cheaper, worse SWEs to manipulate AI This is 100% the play. Right now you can hire 5 devs in India to do the job of 1 competent US dev and save 30-40% on total cost. Add in AI and it will only take 3 devs in India to do the same work, and can now save 50-60% on total cost.
