Well that's even stupider. What do you do when your juniors get better at using your tools?

The 2010's tech boom happened because big tech knew a good engineer is worth their weight in gold, and not paying them well meant they'd be headhunted after as little as a year of work. What's gonna happen when this repeats) if we're assuming AI makes things much more efficient)?

And that's my kindest interpretation. One that assumes that a junior and senior using a prompt will have a very close gap to begin with. Even seniors seem to struggle right now with current models working at scale on Legacy code.
