Quiet public

@PurplePurple I struggle to even ask about work with my ex colleagues because they all seem to have bought into the company's two feet all in dive into AI, and it feels like we're living in separate realities.

Quiet public

@swift I sometimes end up talking to them about it, and they seem to be aware AI is sometimes wrong... But yet they keep using it for literally everything.

It's almost like an addict who knows the addiction might be hurting them, but can't stop using.

I can see the damage it's doing to the long term maintainability of our environment and platform too :(
