No, because as Jan Schaumann said "Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement."
It is kinder than the alternative, which is to just keep raising expectations and letting people get walloped out of the blue.
Lots of companies otherwise basically let employees miss the train and then lay them off for it and then they are stuck searching for a job with no modern skills.
To me this is the warning. AI may or may not pan out, but if it does, you don’t get to say you were blindsided.

I derive this analogy where AI is like code editor with advanced auto suggestions feature.
How far you are pushed to use by your organisation is going to break every seniors patience.
AI hype is trying blurring between blue collar and white collar people. In reality the line will exists and it will broaden.
