#52Same. Last week, my boss, Chief Data and Analytics Officer, dumped an AI-generated proposal (~7 pages) on how to structure semantic layer on top of our dbt models. As the Data Engineering lead, I had to read it and found a few glaring issues; left a lot of comments asking him for details where it's lacking; and proposed a few of my ideas (the path I think we should take without over complicating everything unnecessar…
Starting to wonder that we’re going to start being forced to execute on an AI output instead of sharing it with other people. If you can reason yourself into a working system, you know what you’re talking about. If not, then it’s not worth taking the time to figure it out.
It's still risk though. Consensus distributes it. Future maintainers need to understand the design and motivations.

Ask them to share their prompt instead.
Calls them out on their AI bs and gives a way forward to share what they actually thought.

That’s not much better in my experience, from a human perspective. You inherit a system that someone designed a decade ago and all the original maintainers are long gone. One is then afraid to change anything, because of ancient landmarks and all that. But now we can actually start to piece together how these things work with AI.

People will either get used to it, or we’ll start seeing automated replies like “This text was automatically generated and has not been reviewed before being sent. It’s AI garbage and I refuse to read it. Do it again. And do it better.”

#58Same here
A potential solution would be to have a reputation system, with some light pageranking in it. People who care about their reputation are bound to rate other likewise people higher. I don't think such loyalty exists between vibetalkers.
It's obvious we're not alone, and 2 distinct clusters would form (with people on a spectrum in between)

#60You're absolutely right! I'm here to help. Tell me more about . Joking aside. I do hate when teammates forward me screenshots of chatgpt conversations as if that was somehow going to be helpful and as if they were so smart for thinking to ask an llm to some a problem we were discussing.
