I think you are missing the point, which is that workers lose their skills.
It’s the “no new senior engineers problem”. Seniors are still needed, but if juniors don’t gain the real experience to develop the skills and intuition, they won’t develop professionally into higher skilled seniors.
I see, yeah the article is gated. I think my comment is still relevant. Taking away the repetitive and menial tasks is great. What's not great is how companies in general use this increase in productivity, which includes slashing junior roles. They really don't have to do that. They can keep the junior roles and just have them learn. So it's the same problem from a different perspective.
