One of the interns decided to interview devs across my org about how/whether they use AI for development and what they think about it. They shared without names but with titles.

I noticed that the more senior a dev is, the more they’re likely to have low opinion of AI and/or only use it for very narrow purposes. More junior devs tend to say things like “it makes me a better dev”

My hypothesis: if you’re better than average, you’re better than the bot and can therefore see its shortcomings. If you’re not, you experience Dunning-Kruger. If you’re a lot worse than the bot, it probably feels like magic.

This would also explain how people who are experts in a field tend to think AI can’t replace their field even when they think it’ll replace other fields.
