    that will come at the expense of training the future senior engineers until, at some point, there won’t be any (/enough)

    Anything a human can be trained to do, a neural network can be trained to do.

    Yes, there will be a lack of trained humans for those positions… but spinning up enough “senior engineers” will be as easy as moving a slider on a cloud computing interface… or remote API… done by whichever NN comes to replace the people from HR.

    ML is based on human learning and replacing the “learning” stage of human practitioner with machines is going to eventually create a gap in qualified human oversight

    Cue in the humanoid robots.

    Better yet: outsource the creation of “qualified oversight”, and just download/subscribe to some when needed.

      Come on. This is a gross exaggeration. Neural nets are incredibly limited. Try getting them to even open a door. If we someday come up with a true general AI that really can do what you say, it will be as similar to today’s neural nets as a space shuttle is to a paper airoplane.
