My personal thinking is that AI is being implicitly forced on all of us via the tools we use. Otherwise, I suspect almost nobody would be using LLMs to write original code except for the people who never had the confidence to write original code in the first place.

I also think there is a much larger productive grey zone where some more senior developers are learning to use LLMs to do non challenging tasks as a form of dumb automation. It’s hard to tell how much any of this really occurs because the AI companies and the shitty developers drastically inflate the numbers as a form of validation.
