One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

It's a radical change in human/computer interface. Now, for many applications, it is much better to present the user with a simple chat window and allow them to type natural language into it, rather than ask them to learn a complex UI. I want to be able to say "Delete all the screenshots on my Desktop", instead of going into a terminal and typing "rm ~/Desktop/*.png".

The junior will repeatedly ask the AI to delete the screenshots. Until he forgets what is the command to delete a file.

The engineer will wonder why his desktop is filled his screenshots, change the settings that make it happen, and forget about it.

That behavior happened for years before AI, but AI will make that problem exponentially worse. Or I do hope that was a bad example.

Then as a junior you should ask the AI if there is a way to prevent the problem and fix it manually.

You might then argue that they don't know they should ask that; could just configure the AI once to say you are a junior engineer and when you ask the ai to do something, you also want it to help you learn how to avoid problems and prevent them from happening.
