You also risk senior talent who stay but doesn't want to change or adopt, at least with any urgency. AI will accelerate that journey of discovery and learning, so juniors are going to learn super fast.

That’s still to be determined. Blindly accepting code suggestions thrown at you without understanding them is not the same thing as learning.

Okay, but what about work output? That's seems to be the only thing business cares about.

Also, maybe it's the HN bias but I don't see this notion where old engineers are rejecting this en masse. More younger people will embrace it. But most younger people haven't mucked in legacy code yet (the lifeblood of any businesses).
