Even if you have one trillion juniors, you're not going to get them to spit out 1000 lines of code in a matter of seconds, after you give them an assignment, like LLMs do, so this is a faulty comparison.

Also often it takes a senior dev _more_ time to _explain_ to a junior what needs to be done than it takes to do it himself. What LLMs give us is the ability to generate a feature about as fast as we can type up the instructions we would have, pre-AI, given to a junior dev.
