People at work are cutting and pasting Claude output for use in routine messages on Teams, troubleshooting suggestions, and proposed architecture designs, and honestly it's some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. I have to tell people to reword it in their own words, and I believe they often can't.

I've seen developers use Claude to make suggestions for infrastructure design that made absolutely no sense and did not consider our environment. I've seen people write English that grammatically made sense but logically did not.

I don't see enough complaints about this and it can't be just my company.

Is anyone else seeing really severe Dunning-Kruger?

I always check what AI says to me, and I use my own words. I think the average engineer is not.

They call this "slop" - I think it is well known at this point?
