Unfortunately, it also makes jeets better. I had some in my team that could not write any code, they would copy paste examples and still had the word "example" in it. We've been flooded/ replaced with incompetent jeets for years, gaslighted in to believing they are just as good for less pay.
Since we've started using AI jeets have been putting out working code. It may not be the best and they can't explain the logic behind it but it's at least working.
While I've heard reduction in total number of hires I'm willing to bet that the percentage of jeets will either remain the same or increase while the total number will decrease.
Another issue is that if everyone is using it, AI will be a crutch for all the new guys and there won't be a difference between jeets and non-jeets anymore.
Yeah, I would tend to agree. It raises the bar for everyone to a minimum level. AI really excels at simple, describable problems, once you get to the point where the problem is too complex/big it falls off quickly.
The advantage an American junior will have though is the language / comprehension barrier. Jeets tend to do what they're told literally in ways an American would know not to. They also cut corners like crazy.
The other thing is the AI industry is not sustainable. Once they have to start charging a sustainable price for their services/boiling the ocean, a lot less people will be able to afford to use it.
Another future problem is the "garbage in / garbage out" when AI starts getting trained on its own slop and people start locking up their data more. That may be a while though.
I also have to assume anti-poo sentiment is reaching biblical levels and people are on to their scamming / culture / invasion.
If language barrier was a concern, then companies wouldn’t be outsourcing fucking recruiting and customer service to jeets. Companies literally do not give a shit about anything beyond surface level costs. The actual cost of outsourcing is so much more than what hiring a fucking American would cost, but since companies can apply all sorts of tactics to obscure the actual cost of outsourcing or spread the cost around, companies will continue to hire Indians.
For visa Indians, it’s not even about saving money anymore, it is purely about importing as many of their co-ethnics as possible. The Jeetification is beyond comprehension at this point.
