We were having an urgent issue at work and my coworker said he had a solution and I said what was it and he sent like three paragraphs which I read through and I said, "what the fuck does this even say? did you even read this?" he said, he thought it was a solution and I asked why he bothered to even send it and he said he wanted to send me the "source". I was like, I don't have time to deal with the core of this issue but if anyone sends me AI shit without checking it themselves, I'm gonna flip.

    This drives me nuts, when an urgent issue comes up I value concise, accurate answers so we can quickly agree and actually do the work.

    We had an urgent issue recently and upper management wanted a plan for validating the fix. Rather than talking to the expert the manager one level down just sent an AI written suggestion without checking with anyone. After having checked with the correct person, I had to respond with "This is the MIL standard, we should follow this" while "ignoring" the manager's email. Luckily I had the goodwill to get away with correcting people like that.
