I agree. Working as a manager in the industry my take is that AI has had a near-zero actual increase in SE productivity. That’s not to say the C-level perception matches that actual number though. It hasn’t happened at my company but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that some layoffs from big companies were driven by that perception. I would interpret more as an excuse to get rid of low performers in general.
