AI curse or blessing?

Enhanced search engine (when latest data not necessary
Assistant / bounce ideas of it to clarify own thinking, and get other viewpoints
Specific task code generation, 0 to 60% quickly. (the part after that is the harder bit)
Using it as a text assistant, making your text more compelling
Implement low/medium -difficult code, by providing API documentation and context
Social media content generation
Cooking recipies

Heavily reduce need for junior developers
Increased projects / investments as assumed higher productivy, lower overall cost, faster to try out ideas, new solution possibilities
New job: Prompt engineer
Major demand for skillset to train models on company data
New skill demand: Detecting fake/AI -generated data, text, images etc.

Generating code is one segment of the role
Others are likely emphasized in value as AI spreads: communication, debugging, understanding tech, product and market context, creativity, software engineer practices, architecture, logging/observability to speed up AI assisted iteration

Accelerate "Dead Internet" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory)
AI vs. AI. Usage of AI to generate actions, and counterpart using AI to counter these actions. Both malicious and everyday.
Education: Emphasized need to navigate and validate information validity.
EU regulations on the way for AI limitations, US only talk at the moment. Will companies comply in their products by strictest market (EU) or ship regionally configured solutions?
"Generated by AI" and "Information is incorrect" are both interesting aspects but they are not the same.
Everything homogenised? Knowledge, music, etc.

The responsibility remains on the author/committer/approval stamper as before.
