AI is going to create endless jobs by allowing everyone to make a huge mess.

We are currently in the early phase where people are creating code messes with little oversight and future people will be expected to build on them, which will either take expanded effort or complete re-writes from scratch.

The quality of all products will suffer for the foreseeable future.

It's now a several times a day occurrence for me of trying to help someone figure out a problem, and when I ask them why they did that, the answer is always that the AI told them to.

If the people that are using these tools don't know right from wrong, it's a recipe for disaster.

This problem is amplified in non-technical fields where people are creating tools for businesses without even the knowledge of what a code review is.

AI will be around forever, and the problems it will create are immeasurable, but unfortunately, it will likely always be seen as the solution to the problem as well.
