Juniors don't always learn.

That's still better than LLMs, which are by their very nature incapable of learning. I'll take "sometimes learns" over "never learns".

No, but you can fire them. Can you fire an AI you're paying for? Yes, but your options are another AI that is just as bad, or worse.

And it's really someone's fault for hiring a bad junior. Someone did interview them, right? Maybe the person that hired them is the problem. And maybe the person that decided to go all-in on AI is also the same problem.
