Oh boy, do I have a story about this.

I had a PM that was unable to work without AI. Everything he did had to include AI somehow.

His magnum opus was 30 extremely large tickets that had the exact same text minus two or three places with slight variations. He wanted us to create 30 website pages with the content.

The ticket went into details such as using a CDN, following the current design, writing a scalable backend, test coverage, about 3-4 pages per ticket, plus VERY DETAILED instructions for the QA. Yep: all in the same task.

In the end it was just about adding each of the 30 items to an array.

I don’t know if he knows, but in the end it was this specific AI slop that got him fired.
