I'm no longer professionally in IT, and never was in software development, but I recently had an interesting conversation with two friends who are. Both their companies expect job candidates to use AI in their technical interview. Candidates who do not do so will lose credit. My friends each use AI to inspire solutions to difficult programming problems. We identified a couple of issues: 1. Where an AI-inspired solution involves major code change, the value of source code control is diminished, and human comprehension of the code base can be eroded. 2. Older programmers have "earned their stripes" and can presumably assess AI-contributed code with their critical faculties engaged. There is some concern whether AI will, over time, remove selection pressure for such a skill from the programming gene pool.
