I work with AI models like the chess players of the late ’90s worked with chess engines. Together, we’re more capable than either of us would be apart. But I don’t know if I could have done this as a junior engineer. At that stage in my career, I was more playing the role of the AI model: working away on problems and occasionally being set straight by my more senior peers. What niche can a junior engineer fill, now that AI can play that role for pennies on the dollar?
