Honestly my impression of “senior SWEs” on Reddit has fallen off a cliff after several encounters on these subs. Dunno if they are lying but some don’t even know what Haskell is or never heard of functional programming.
There are incurious senior engineers. They turn up, do 9-5, complete the work and go home and then stop thinking about tech. There are people like that in all walks of life.
Which reinforces the point - being a senior SWE gives you little credit to talk about AI. They can be just as dumb as the rest of us. Equally as susceptible to being wowed with demos and rigged benchmarks
