AI in the workplace will ultimately become extremely polarizing. Some people benefit from it more than others and some people are more confident/capable without it than others. The result will be low confidence dependency behaviors versus self-sufficiency silos.
JavaScript work has been living in that world already for the last 20 years. High confidence people will leave the workforce to be replaced by less experienced tool users and expert beginners. It’s great until it isn’t, at which point you discover your irrelevance either way due to functional obsolescence or an inability to perform.
I will say the "Gen Z stare" is an actual phenomena that happens irl. I just got it at the deli counter last weekend. I was trying to order a tuna sandwich and just got stared at back with the most blank deadpan unmoving expression, he didn't do anything to confirm or approve my order (or start making it). When I got home I told my partner about it and they laughed, "oh you got the 'Gen Z stare!' and so I googled it and that is EXACTLY what happened!

At this point, even if I'm wrong, it's unlikely a report of any merit.
Here are few good examples of it: https://www.tiktok.com/@dantejamees/video/752596765491436263...
