And verifying 10 pounds of incoherent architectural choices and over engineered submodules of human work is certainly harder than reviewing tee bits of coherent agent work.

You are? I can also make false dichotomy fallacies!

    The difference is that AI is prone to this issue, even a single agentic process. Humans only really run into this issue with large, disorganized teams.

    Humans burn out.

    edit: hold up. Presenting as though what I said works in reverse,

    verifying 10 pounds of incoherent architectural choices and over engineered submodules of human work is certainly harder than reviewing tee bits of coherent agent work.

    as though agentic and human contribution is equatable… wouldn’t that be false equivalency? Tisk tisk…

    Human work is not swappable with agentic work without tradeoffs, which is kind of why I was making a point at all.
