Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

in other words please help us, use our AI

I’m watching people in my industry (software development) who’ve bought into this crap forget how to code in real-time while they’re producing the shittiest garbage I’ve laid eyes on as a developer.

I just spent two days fixing multiple bugs introduced by some AI made changes, the person who submitted them, a senior developer, had no idea what the code was doing, he just prompted some words into Claude and submitted it without checking if it even worked, then it was "reviewed" and blindly approved by another coworker who, in his words, "if the AI made it, then it should be alright"

    Show him the errors of his ways. People learn best by experience.

    You're right, they SHOULD be fired.

    Management loves that they are using AI, they will probably get promoted if anything.

    It's being pushed very hard by management where I work and I'm consistently seeing the same as above. I mentioned on another thread recently that I've heard "I don't know why Claude did that" multiple times over the past few weeks.

    It's infuriating.

    Look for another work place as soon as you can. If not you will forever be in the position of being the cleaner of their shit and you will not gain anything by it. They will get their metrics going up and you will be known to be the slow guy because you care about fixing the code.
