I have another idea! It's just an idea or a feeling.
My feeling is that work interaction has decreased lately, with all these assistants. I, for one, don't get any questions and don't have any technical interactions not even with junior developers. I don't get asked "how can I implement this, give me some clues" or "do you know a book or some articles I can read on this or that subject?"
I feel the slack channels have also kinda dried up. There's the occasional meme or dog pictures but very little technical discussion, asking for an opinion, framing one's ideas and thoughts on a subject in writing, exchanging opinions with others, etc.
There is still the occasional code review, sure. At this point, I can spot the code written with AI. It has the same feel, the same verbosity, always the same try/catch for everything, always awaits everything, same doxygen-style of comments, always assigning variables for everything. I gave my opinions in the beginning, some things were adapted. But it's a loosing battle. AI can write code faster than I can review it.
Three years ago, some colleagues would ask on slack to proofread their client-facing documents. Now they don't.
Tldr: human interaction is decreasing due to people not needing help from other people that often, similarly to ordering your food and not knocking on your neighbors door to ask for a slice of bread since you've ran out of and everything is closed (we did that, and the neighbors too, 30 years ago)
