Honestly, I'm not sure if there is any correspondence between an AI and a particular skill level of developer. A junior developer won't know most of the things an AI does; but unlike an AI, they can be held accountable for a particular assignment. I feel like AI is more like "a skilled consultant who doesn't know that much about your situation and refuses to learn more than the bare minimum, but will spend an arbitrary amount of time on self-contained questions or tasks, without checking the output too carefully." Which is exactly as useful yet infuriating as it sounds.
