There's a saying how a good programmer is a lazy programmer.

And I've always agreed to that. If there's a way to smartly automate stuff, why not!

But I've recently observed how LLM-based laziness is bad laziness.

I've observed people "prompt" the "ai search engine" or "assistant" several times after it should have been clear that the correct answer wasn't forthcoming ...

and not listen to an actual person in the room (me) trying to tell them an answer that would actually work ...
