Developers expect generative AI to impact roles and team sizes in the next three years
What's happening
Developers expect generative AI to change roles and team sizes over the next three years. The conversation centers on how AI will reshape work as systems already produce articles, code, summaries, books, and comments, raising concerns that human-created pre-AI data will become more valuable as synthetic material floods the internet. Commentators warn feeding books into generative models risks a cultural void and could make thinking redundant, while surveys and university research are probing what people think and how much they trust generative AI. The debate now mixes practical questions about jobs and teams with wider ethical and cultural worries about AI-generated content.
Why it's trending
Momentum of AI output, public debate and new research on trust are converging, making near-term workforce impacts a fresh concern.

Hey hey folks, I’ve been thinking about an odd consequence of the generative AI boom. Especially in light of these doomer stories about Anthropic destroying books (boo bad Anthropic bad). The first major LLMs inherited decades of internet that was overwhelmingly produced by humans. Now those same systems and their descendants are producing articles, code, summaries, books, comments, and other mate
