All this talk of replacing junior engineers makes me think:

Aren’t interns and junior engineers paid on their potential rather than the work they produce?

Doesn’t it take a while (like 6 months - 1 year) for any associate to start contributing significantly to the organisation’s output?

A lawyer might delegate the same task to ChatGPT rather than a junior but is the purpose of delegation primary to get the task completed or to give an opportunity for junior to learn the specifics of the task?
