It was fine when I was free to foist slop upon my coworkers, but now everyone is returning the favour?? What the hell. This sucks.

Naturally commenters are careful to note that they of course use the chatbot with care and precision, it’s those insidious others taking the easy approach and not having the moral fortitude to apply a little thought

I hate it when people say, "It's a management/culture problem; you are just not using the AI properly."

If you did not have a particular management problem until the AI came along, then I can say it's an AI problem.

I continually notice that the assertion some particular skill is needed to properly utilize the LLM, is rarely accompanied by any meaningful description of the path to develop that skill. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

Its like the old joke about Software Engineers having a degree in Googling.

It's not strictly wrong in the sense that there are good results and bad results and you can sorta tweak things, but it was only ever just coincidence that you happened to be looking up the same approximate subject matter as what the people who maintained Google were working on, so the search results tended to be better than average.
