In the pre-AI era it was much easier to identify people in the workplace who weren't paying attention to their work. To write something about a project you had to at minimum invest some time into understanding it, then think about it, then write something on the ticket, e-mail, or codebase.

AI made it easy to bypass all of that and produce words or code that look plausible enough. Copy and paste into ChatGPT, copy and past the blob of text back out, click send, and now it's somebody else's problem to decipher it.

It gets really bad when the next person starts copying it into their ChatGPT so they can copy and past a response back.

There are entire groups of people just sending LLM slop back and forth and hoping that the project can be moved to someone else before the consequences catch up.
