The argument is that, instead of hiring a junior engineer, a senior engineer can simply produce enough output to match what the junior would have produced and then some.
Of course, that means you won't be able to train them up, at least for now. That being said, even if they "only" reach the level of your average software developer, they're already going to have pretty catastrophic effects on the industry.
As for automated fixes, there are agents that _can_ do that, like Devin (https://devin.ai/), but it's still early days and bug-prone. Check back in a year or so.

At the moment it looks like an experienced engineer can pressure LLM to hallucinate a junior level code.
