And that makes it even harder for seniors to teach: it was always hard to figure out where someone has misconceptions, but now you need to work through more code. You don't even know if the misconceptions are just the AI misbehaving, the junior doing junior things, or if the junior should read up on certain design principles that may not be known to the junior yet. So, you end up with another blackbox component that you need to debug :)
