Your concern about higher-ups valuing being told they are correct vs actually being correct is exactly what I saw at my last job (one of the largest companies in the states) and now at another smaller firm. It was really disheartening because I do use qwen a lot for personal stuff and claude at work, and have been able to multiply my productivity by only having to understand a ticket and then code review instead of doing all the intermediate steps, but a lot of people have let it go full self driving and just tell it "implement ticket ABC-123 and raise a PR" without checking the output at all.
