A junior would see the solution works and create a PR. A senior knows it works, why it works and what can be improved, then they open a PR.

AI is great at a first draft of anything, code, images, text, but the real skill is turning that first draft into something good.

I don't see this a problem of seniority but one of mindset. I've met enough "senior devs" that will push just about anything and curious juniors that are much more selective about their working process.

In the age of high interest rates everyone is pushing quantity over quality

I fail to see the causality.

High interest rates bring layoffs. Layoffs require performance, or at least perceived performance

I believe senior here means experienced, not older.

IMHO, not really, if you know what you want.

There will always be small things to fix, but if there needs to be a second draft, I would hazard that the PR was too big all along: a problem whether an AI is involved or not.
