I don't think that's true. In fact most people say the opposite - AI doesn't help junior devs because they can't recognise when it's bullshitting. I don't really believe that either - that's just ego talking. I expect it helps people of all experience levels fairly equally, but only with tasks that are relatively simple. It's not like senior engineers never do those though.
Have anything behind that? The paper we're discussing has 4 citations in agreement, so I'm not so sure that most people say the opposite.
What do you mean? I've seen people say that all the time on HN. No I'm not going to go and search for comments.
I meant actual data. You're refuting a claim backed by several cited studies in the OP.
