Try AI. And give it a serious try with a sizeable project. You'll quickly find out that it's not going to replace developers. And that there is plenty of purely practical experience required to get value out of it.

You don't have to like it, but even if you're going to be anti-AI then it makes sense to know what exactly you're up against.

Hah. I remember when VB/Delphi was all the rage and managers thought that you could just drag&drop things, connect them together, and have them do everything.

AI is the next level of that. But in its current stage it's not the end-goal.
