@swift I sometimes end up talking to them about it, and they seem to be aware AI is sometimes wrong... But yet they keep using it for literally everything.
It's almost like an addict who knows the addiction might be hurting them, but can't stop using.
I can see the damage it's doing to the long term maintainability of our environment and platform too :(

@Purple @swift It is an addiction. It's very similar to gambling.

@Purple @swift you've actually nailed it :bear_shrug: it looks like an addiction because prompting is like a slot machine: each prompt is another pull on the slot machine hoping for a good result, and maybe, just maybe, if they prompt just one more time, they'll get a good result :frog_sus:
