Let's be real. Software engineers are skeptical right now not because they believe robots are better than them. Quite the opposite. The suits will replace software engineers despite its mediocrity.

It was just 2 weeks ago when the utter incompetence of these robots were in full public display [1]. But none of that will matter to greedy corporate executives, who will prioritize short-term cost savings. They will hop from company to company, personally reaping the benefits while undermining essential systems that users and society rely on with robot slop. That's part of the reason why the C-suites are overhyping the technology. After all, no rich executive has faced consequences for behaving this way.

It's not just software engineering jobs that will take a hit. Society as a whole will suffer from the greedy recklessness.
