The AI will do it faster and cheaper than the junior does and thats what the company cares about.

Not to mention you should still be code reviewing it anyway. In fact with AI you should be reviewing even more than you were before.

Short term. Not long term. The AI will never become a staff developer. Shifting review on to the senior developers is shifting responsibility and workload, which will have the expected outcome. Slower development cycles as you have to consider every footgun. Especially when the AI can't explain the reasoning for esoteric changes. I ask a Jr, it's likely they have a test (codified or manual) that led them to the decision.

I’ve had AI generate code in a few hours that would take some juniors I’ve worked with weeks. Yes, the code was not the best (very long methods) and it took some iteration, but everything has trade offs.
