AI complicates software development by enabling AI-assisted arguments

A new trend suggests AI is complicating software development by making it harder for senior engineers to reject unnecessary complexity. Junior engineers and product managers are reportedly using AI-generated arguments to push back against senior colleagues' decisions. This dynamic can lead to exhausting decision-making processes and the integration of less optimal ideas into production. AI
