> ...and which can say knowledgeable things at times while having no idea on what they are doing

This has been a thing forever, before AI. Lots of "programmers" at BigCorp have hacked the system and they know how to say the right words relevant to BigCorp's tech stack. Knowing how to actually program is entirely optional. (You can just copy-paste boilerplate from BigCorp's monorepo, writing boilerplate will be your day job anyways.)

yea for sure they hacked the system for promotions but they weren't checking in AI slop for rest of us to deal with.

They were checking in buggy spaghetti code though.
