Btw, this is not a new problem. Even before LLM's widespread popularity, the same problem occurred with those coworkers quickly Googling an answer they do not understand and submitting that as a suggestion.
If that’s all you bring to the table… well, I can use ChatGPT myself and we can save on head count.
Asking ChatGPT to provide explanation for why the ChatGPT provided solution wouldn't work is an obvious course of action.
