You also cannot replace junior engineers with A"I"

The problem is that corporations are not holistic organizations. In theory¹, a company could not have any juniors and always just hire seniors from the outside. And if your boss has reason to believe that this is more cost-effective, then they have to strive for that, even if they're well aware that it cannot work when all companies strive for that.

¹) In practice, I've actually found that juniors are important, too. If you staff a project team with only seniors, you quickly end up in a situation, where they don't talk enough to each other. They know how to solve things technologically, so they don't need to tell each other about their challenges and what solution they chose.
Similarly, you likely end up in a situation, where only big problems are being tackled, because everyone can tackle big problems and they're just very visible, highly prioritized problems. But when you add up enough small problems, they become just as problematic.

Honestly at this point I do try to take some of the ai fears seriously, these creeps are definitely trying to replace human labour with machines the only comfort I do get is that if they really do manage to create an artificial super intelligence based on the human brain it will definitely destroy them.

It's like we've taken it upon ourselves to turn reality into THE stupidest version of any dystopia ever imagined by a human brain...

You want Terminator? Sure, but Skynet will be crap and people will die en masse due to infrastructure fuck-ups.

You want 40k? Sure, but the Men of Iron will be LLMs. Good luck figuring out those STCs once you develop beyond bonking pieces of wood together. Again.

You want 1984? Ok, but Big Brother is a Blackbox algorithm which has no idea what a human being is and just corrupts your feeds until it's nothing but inaccuracies and YouTube Poop and is selling your actual waist size and toilet paper preferences to random online advertisers.

You want Waterworld? Well, here! Have all the water you need! Good luck with your ocean based society once your flesh will start slow-roasting in about 30-40 years of living like this!

You want Mad Max? Well, better make it happen fast, because there won't be enough oil for it! Maybe solarpunk? Also, we're doing Waterworld first, let's see how you make it through that.

There are more, I'm sure, but I'm pissed off now.

I once saw a documentary about Bedouin tribes that were dying out. The problem was very simple, from the outside; they were killing virtually all of their female children.

The team interviewed an elder of one tribe, asking him about this practice. As expected, the elder said that parents wanted sons to continue their family names.

"If no-one in the tribe has any daughters, where will these sons find wives?" asked the interviewer. The elder confidently replied without hesitation, "They will get wives from other tribes." "But what if the other tribes kill their female babies just like your tribe does?" the interviewer persisted (In fact, they had met people from several tribes, and indeed they all followed this terrifying practice). The elder looked at the interviewer like he was a slow child. "They will get wives from other tribes."
