you'll either be needed to extract dead systems after this all falls apart, or to build new systems for people that don't want slop service in dead space.

Oops, requirements were written by ai too

For real.

I recently lost half a morning having to go through a slop requirements document and making a list of questions like "are you sure you want this? why do you want this? what does this even mean?", to which the answers were all "I don't know, ChatGPT wrote it".

Like why did you even bother sending me this, you could've just sent me the prompt instead and saved me 2 hours of my life

People do stupid things when they don't know any better but want to look like they know what they are doing. Enter LLMs now people think they look even smarter in an area they don't know things.

yeah it's not a great idea, I've been seeing a crap ton of AI ads for relatively bland services online, like insurance and weight loss, some known brands mixed in, and I keep thinking, what does this benifit the company other than not paying someone more than the AI to make an ad, and I feel it mostly just let's less legitimate business look more sleek, but the bounce back from that is going to be people associating AI ads with garbage and scam businesses, which is plush the bigger corporations away from it. Anyway, yeah it's all to try and get the user of the AI service to look more polished in intent.
