If you hire someone, you need to vet them enough to mitigate a bad hire. Your butt needs to be on the line if they are a bad hire.

Saying things like this in isolation is silly because it just shifts blame rather than creating an environment of teamwork and rigor. What I got out of the article is that AI helps humans get to answers faster. You still need to verify that the answers are correct.

> AI helps humans get to answers faster

Well, that is the "vibe" at least. We don't really know for sure. (Maybe ask ChatGPT?)

That's why I said it helps, not that it's perfect or absolute. It's still up to a diligent human to verify the output from AI in the context they're working it. I personally use AI to do more, learn more, and help with context switching. It helps me make more efficient use of my personal and professional time while still challenging me to learn about topic I previously didn't have or make the time to.

Those that blindly post @grok please help or use AI for everything will likely experience some level of atrophy in their critical thinking skills. I would advise those people to think about this and adjust course.

In many cases, people are satisfied with responses that are almost or somewhat correct. That's a valid approach - that's exactly how prometheus monitoring works (pull-based metrics): we don't see the details of that spike, just the big picture and that's good enough and cheap in a sea of datapoints where pods come and go...

It feels like another example of regression toward the mean in our society. At the same time, this creates a valuable opportunity for diligent, detail-oriented professionals to truly stand out.

It can definitely point you in the right direction but if you are lazy and blindly trust it you’re a fool.
