What happens in practice is teams are made "leaner" by laying off people (and, as seen in Microsoft layoffs, the people targeted are often veterans, due to their large salaries - which means that the team loses a lot of deep knowledge of the code in the process). And then the remaining ones are told to deal with the same amount of work as before, since "AI makes you more productive". I can't blame the remaining developers for saying, "fuck you then, I'm going to do the bare minimum". The blame is entirely on the management, and every single big tech company is complicit.
