I'm more concerned AI will spew garbage we end up getting stuck spending time cleaning then actually replace me.

The software developer trades in abstractions, fundamentally, and not code. So if I could get an AI that actually helped me build and evaluate those abstractions, that would be fantastic. I don't think our current AI approaches are anywhere close yet, because it's all just fancy code generation, which isn't that useful, once you're in an ecosystem with good abstractions.

But, the world I fear might happen are pseudo-technical managers using AI generators to spit out "something cool" that has very poor definition, breaks all the time, and then just wants people to "make it robust". And then any change you recommend has to have some kind of business justification. This is the AI hellscape I fear.
