Unfortunately I'm seeing that in my company already. They are forcing AI tools down our throat and execs are vastly misinterpreting stats like '20% of our code is coming from AI'.

What that means is the simple, boilerplate and repetitive stuff is being generated by LLM's, but anything complex or involving more than a singular simple problem LLM's often provide more problems than benefit. Effective dev's are using it to handle simple stuff and Execs are thinking 'the team can be reduced by x', when in reality you can get rid of at best your most junior and least trained people without loosing key abilities.

Watching companies try to sell their AI's and "Agents" as having the ability to reason is also absurd but the non-technical managers and execs are eating it up...
