> I personally think we are going to see country-scale enshitification of everything as lazy people use AI to generate everything which is then reviewed by lazy people who also use AI to review everything and no one notices or cares until it's too late Sound about right to me. A large quantity of documentation is written solely to be written, not read. If it's your job to write reports, article, memos, whatever, and you deep down know that this isn't being read, then why not have to AI do it? I think that we're producing way to many documents/reports/content in general and we need to slow down. Humans can't keep up, neither on the production side, nor the consumption, so we employ computers to "help", but it's all busy work.

This reminds me of my first internship, I was running a test suite and filling out a web form every week. It was never mentioned in any meetings or other comms. After about 3 months of doing this, I asked my manager why I was doing this if no-one cared or noticed. He told me to stop and see if anyone said something. I stopped, interned another 15 months and it wasn't ever mentioned. Hell of a lesson to learn as a newbie

  3 months later a showstopper occurs and heads are rolling. The poor release manager wants to pinpoint when this breaking change occurred, but the last test suite ran was almost 2 years ago. They didn't care until it was too late. As fitting for American culture. Not saying you were wrong to drop, but multiple people dropped the BL there if there how they are treating their testing.

Idiocracy in real life. The AI told me to drink Brawndo. Why? Because it has electrolytes. My AI said electrolytes are good.

Nurses document to report to doctors so they can diagnose and advise. That seems like the worst step to cut corners on. Accountants document reports for patient for prescriptions and diagnosis that can affect their lives. Heck, as a CYA you document records in case a law firm comes in demanding papers to read. Do they think lawyers don't care about this stuff? Just because not everyone is gonna pour over ever word doesn't mean no one will.
