I’m in favour of hiring kids to figure out the solution through iteration and doing web searches etc. If they fuck up, then they learn and eventually become better at their job - maybe even becoming a Senior themselves eventually.
I get what you’re saying - Seniors are more likely to use the tools more effectively, but there are many cases of the AI not doing what its told. Its not repeatably consistent like a bash script.
The days of stack exchange and such are numbered. Web searches turn up less and less hits that help you solve problems and learn. It won’t be long before AIs replace old school web searches. Software projects will stop writing documentation, when instead and ai can just read the code. The way we learned things is dieing. I don’t know how the juniors will get to be seniors in 5 to 10 years. But following th AI instructions to test out it’s theories isn’t going to work for the vast majority.

People are better - always.
