> Have you ever hired a junior dev? How is their quality? Does that mean we should never use junior devs?

No, because junior devs usually improve over time.

I've tried Copilot and a few other AI codegen tools. Aside from producing overall low quality/nonworking code, the only times they seem to get better long-term are when a new update to the model comes out.

copilot is straight trash compared to ChatGPT 4. It's not even a contest.

I should have been clear but ChatGPT was one of the "other AI codegen tools" I mentioned, especially as it's the one I used most recently. I tried it for a month or so but then canceled my subscription. I got some use out of it for answering questions for friends who were learning CS for the first time in languages I didn't know, but I didn't get much else from it which felt like it was high enough quality that it really saved me time or effort.

Edit:

And to contrast with junior developers: I find pairing with them something that makes me not only help me figure out the requirements of the things we're working on--which admittedly ChatGPT does do, but I think that's mostly by virtue of rubber ducking--but it helps me figure out approaches I wouldn't have thought of before, or encourages me to write more maintainable code by seeing when another person's eyes start glazing over.
