You know how all relationships have this sweet phase where you’re consumed by each other and don’t spot any issues in one another? A friend of mine has been in that phase with AI for way too long. There’s nothing romantic about their relationship with AI, it’s just they delegate everything to it, AI has become their entire personality.

We have a side project together with a decent number of users. Every issue, every pull request description and every pull request comment’s response is written by AI with that stupid AI way of mimicking how aCtuAl pEoPle talk. It’s hard to get through to the human part but when you manage to do so, there’s only AI on their mind. They always say “let’s ask AI” like an LLM is an oracle that is always right. There’s no more joy in our collaboration, might as well let my agent deal with their agent and let the agents talk to each other without humans involved.

They would do things they have zero knowledge about and think they’re an expert. AI is great for helping you do things you don’t know much about but being able to do anything doesn’t automatically make you an expert in such thing (I call it LLM powered Dunning-Kruger).

It’s sad to see how some people willingly give up their seats to become human vessels for an AI personality.
