So is the documentation and specs that I'm provided by stakeholders...but I can't prove it..
Suddenly they write very long and detailed documentation, yet they can't remember what's in it.
My gf says that in her banks she suspects half the written communications are ai-authored, which is driving productivity to the ground. Her bank moreover is very aggressive with endless workshops on AI usage (they have some enterprise gemini version).
The more I see the impact of AI, the more worried I am.
I'm not saying it doesn't have use cases, I myself leverage it when coding (albeit I use a man-in-the-middle approach where I ask questions and tinker with it, I never let AI write code except in some very rare boilerplate-y scenarios) and have built products that leverage it.
But it seems like the trend is to increasingly _delegate_ work to it, and I'm seeing more negatives than positives.
