I'm tired of getting thrown AI slop, but I think its a people problem not an AI problem.
"Hey, I made this doc, can you just make sure it looks OK, maybe add a couple things to it?" - Only to find out its completely useless AI slop and barely any details are correct and everything essential is absent.
Same situation with:
- "Hey, can you take a look at this script to see if it's ok"?
- "Hey, do you know why this code isn't working?"
- "Hey, I created that diagram..."
slop, slop, slop. Low effort people will put in low effort with these tools. I bet there's lots of people I work with that use AI and I don't know because they're high effort people.
And in all cases I've fixed the problems and helped them but I've realized two things and stop doing that recently:
When these folks use AI to generate artifacts, they take even less accountability "I dunno, that's just what the AI did..."
The also have no interest in learning. They get AI to do the thing they don't want to learn, then when that fails just try to get someone else to do it for them.
