Developers vastly overestimate their own abilities.
There are people on any level of seniority that would be perfectly replaced by a noise generator.

The company had avoided certain destruction, after having fired the previous CEO and putting a new one in it's place. The new CEO had managed to bring a newfound calm to the company and it's ranks, and brought an air of meditative discipline to board room meetings.

Some said it was crazy, but making the LectoFan EVO the new CEO was the best decision the company board had ever made.

Glorious leader box fan is sufficient. Glorious leader box fan is perfect.

Overestimate now, but I think that AI is going to be insane within like 5 years, given current investment trends

I find it very hard to believe that AI will ever get to the point of being able to solve novel problems without a fundamental change to the nature of "AI". LLMs are powerful, but ultimately they (and every other kind of "AI") are advanced pattern matching systems. Pattern matching is not capable of solving problems that haven't been solved before.

If they stick around, maybe. If it falls into a rut, then investors are going to pull out and we'll be in another AI winter.

Replace "AI" with "metaverse" or "Bitcoin". Same bullshit

Not really. Crypto is a pyramid scheme.
