£50k full stack dev in London? You're going to get AI slop these days, particularly the moment you encourage usage within the org. LLMs will help underpaid people act their wage. You've already asked them to do 2 or 3 people's jobs with "full stack"
Will you pay £20k more for someone who won't use AI?
I either: a. spend money on a person and take money and time to specify the business problem to this person and take money and time to judge the results b. skip the person and just use the AI itself
The difference between the two is that I don't have some metaphorical hostage to execute in "b". If the task is trivial enough, I don't need a hostage.
AI can’t solve everything, but never using it isn’t the right answer.
(But yes, salaries in the UK are low. £20k is a lot to a lot of people)
