I've seen the worst impact on mid/junior level devs. Where they would have to struggle through a problem before - AI is like a magic shortcut to something that looks like it works. And then they submit that crap and I can't trust them again - they will give me AI code without even understanding what it does fully. It robbed them of the learning process and made them even less useful, while making it seem to them they were achieving something. I'm seeing these kinds of people getting removed from workforce fast - you can probably prompt the AI better on your own, have one less layer of indirection and it will be faster.
