Bro, you are just privileged if you think that AI has "skills of junior".
We humans tend to look at world from our perspective and in narrow context. If YOU are a very good dev and work in some very good company with lots of skilled devs, it does not mean that this is same for all.
For example i mostly worked in local business in Georgia (Tbilisi), a small country with small internal IT sector, plus outsourcing firms that make projects for muh Americans for cheaper prices
Nowhere near Google/Microsoft levels. And let me tell you - most devs are SHIT. They write SHIT code, they know SHIT and AI is smarter than 99% of them. Your average dev is not some superstar who knows anything
most people work with high level Java/C#/Javscript code, never think about any optimizations or design and just write slop to feed their families
Comparing them to AI is like comparing me to Einstein
P.s
Im drunk posting again sorry
