I have a similar view of AI.

I find it best as a "personal assistant," that I can use to give me information -sometimes, highly focused- at a moment's notice.

I think it's a very real problem. I am watching young folks being frozen out of the industry, at the very beginning of their careers. It is pretty awful.

I suspect that the executives know that AI isn't yet ready to replace senior-levels, but they are confident that it will, soon, so they aren't concerned that there aren't any more seniors being crafted from youngsters.

Would suck, if they bet wrong, though…
