I agree with you, no doubt there. But still, technology often offers the path of least resistance. So even if you want to hire better people, what of all the people who will grow up training themselves with Copilot? Yes, you can filter them out but it will be harder and harder to find good people. And then, companies will want to go after the bottom line: what if they can get a bigger and more complex product out there with AI assistance but with code that is more unreliable in the long term?
I tell you, it's spiralling out of control. Besides, even if you're doing the hiring, you may not have control if there is a profit motive. Us technical people cannot control the race to the bottom line, especially over the period of decades.
