AI in the workplace will ultimately become extremely polarizing. Some people benefit from it more than others and some people are more confident/capable without it than others. The result will be low confidence dependency behaviors versus self-sufficiency silos. JavaScript work has been living in that world already for the last 20 years. High confidence people will leave the workforce to be replaced by less experienced tool users and expert beginners. It’s great until it isn’t, at which point you discover your irrelevance either way due to functional obsolescence or an inability to perform.

Every time I see "Gen (Z|X|a)" does Y, I assume it's a sample size of 2 and entirely based on a few tweets, then a parallel construction is created. At this point, even if I'm wrong, it's unlikely a report of any merit.
