AI hype arrived in my company as well

At last, the company I currently work with fully fell for the AI hype. Some devs haven't written a line of code for months. I myself have to admit, that AI became really, really good at programming, mainly because the vast majority of code is just DB interactions and very repetitive. So now that the programmers can do stuff faster, the bottleneck has shifted to the project managers who come up with new features in this firm. On their last big board meeting they have been told 'write user stories for any project, doesn't matter, just write'. The company is partially state subsidized => they don't really have to worry about funds => no need to bring real value in order to stay competitive on the market. The IT department is already fairly small, thus for now they don't plan layoffs, however they decided they won't hire junior devs nor take interns any more, because AI can do their job just fine. I find this total lack of foresight scary (=> who's gonna replace the current seniors after they are gone?), yet they call their grand plan 'visionary'. It is their company, they can do what they deem right. I wonder if their thinking might be affected by age - most of the leadership is in their late forties, meaning they just retire when the shit hits the fan. Who knows...

Anyway, I must admit I'm grateful I'm not a fresh grad these days. I actually studied Applied Biology (I was young, and a decision was asked of me even if I had no clue what I wanted to do back then and I simply liked biology) which was a very stupid decision to make as in my country there are practically no opportunities in that field and I was too timid to go abroad in that stage of my life. After school I ended up at IBM on a customer support position. There was an outsourcing boom to central European countries in the early 2000s because the labor was cheap and many people could speak multiple languages, especially the German speaking markets were very fond of native language support. I was lucky I learned German from watching cartoons on TV when I was a kid. A decade later we also became too expensive and a transition to India has slowly started, that is why I decided to switch to IT. Again, I was fortunate to be able to land a spot thanks to my German as an IT tester. I started to learn to code and tech stuff when I was 34. Everyone said 'pick IT and you are good for life', yet here we are in the age of AI just a decade later. Beautiful irony! Well, I guess there still has to be someone to properly test the things the bots come up with, thus I think my craft is somewhat safe currently, but who knows for how long. Honestly, I don't really care. I have saved up quite enough to support a minimalist lifestyle till old age and testing is ungrateful (when things work fine => "do we even need testers"? and if things go wrong => "what do we even have testers for?"), especially when there is no viable product documentation and all the knowledge lies within the brains of the most senior devs and Project managers who are professionally deformed beyond reason and assume everyone in the team just kind of knows everything after a year in the company. Oh well, at least I mostly work on my own and there is only pressure at release times. Even at the most stressful times, IT is still 100x more chilled than customer support, let me tell you that!
