Comment on Does AI need to be perfect to replace jobs?

  This is exactly how most developers are being asked to use it

  [citation needed]

  At work, we get emails, demos, etc constantly about how they’re using AI to generate everything from UI designs (v0) to starter projects and how they manage these huge prompts and reference docs for their agents.

  Copilot’s line-by-line suggestions are also being pushed, but they care more about the “agentic” stuff.

  I watch coworkers regularly ask it to “add X route to the API” or “make a simple UI that calls Y API”. They are asking it to do their work.

  I have to review these PRs. They come in at an incredible rate, and almost always conflict with each other. I can’t review them fast enough to still do my work.

  Also, we get AI-generated code reviews at work. I have to talk to a chatbot to get help from HR. Some search bars have been replaced with chatbots. It’s everywhere and I’m getting sick of it.

  I just want real information from informed people. I want to review code that a human did their best to produce. I want to be able to help people improve their skills, not just their prompts.

  I’m getting to the point where I’m going to start calling people out if their chatbot/agent/LLM/whatever produces slop. I’m going to give them ownership of it. It’s their output, not the AI’s.
