AI is like a power tool. If you give a contractor a nail gun instead of a hammer he can build a house faster. If you give someone who has no idea how to build a house a nail gun they’ll just fail at building a house faster than if you only gave them a hammer and they’ll probably hurt themselves.

Problem being that the majority of software engineers really don’t know how to build software well.
And are using AI as a tool to just accelerate their lack of engineering.

Could this not be said for IDEs with code awareness such as M$’s intellisense, among other tools that accelerate development speed?
What you are describing isn’t an AI problem, is people taking a two week bootcamp and calling themselves a software engineer.
