That is, until Sr. Dev is forced to babysit AI producing PR slop all day while Jr. Dev is looking for a new job.

Wrong

We fire the Sr Dev and get the cheaper Jr Dev to oversee the AI

Is this actually happening? I would think most tech leaders are not stupid enough to let the most capable reviewers of AI slop get fired first. I think in most case it will translate to a reduction of hiring rather than firing anyone skilled enough to correct AI output.
