Whenever this gets posted, someone (rightly) remarks how short-sighted this is regarding the fact that if there are now juniors now, there won't be any seniors in a few years.
And while that is true, I do envy the lack of cynicism of these people. To me it seems quite clear that the hope from the owning and ruling class is that the AI tools become "good enough" to do away with the entire ladder.
I truly believe this is one example where this is not necessarily (only) stupidity or incompetence, but also malice.
