I suspect that AI Overall will un-level playing fields, because it requires working at a higher level of abstraction, and -- within reason -- working at higher levels of abstraction is harder than working at lower levels of abstraction (above the mean, obviously working on CPU logic is harder than writing shell scripts, and probably below the mean lower level's of abstraction are harder)

So now interviews will ultimately have to get to something like: synthesizing everything you have to know about programming and the nature of business logic decisions and customer needs, how will you mange the output of multiple LLM's to accomplish task y.

There's a reason that supervisory roles tend to be for more experienced folks, and if you're sort of "managing" a team of AI that will be harder.
