My boss was fired yesterday, in part because every single document, email, meeting agenda, performance review, and PR he's written for a year has been pure AI slop.

His defense was always "everyone uses AI, including you" and I'm like yes i do use it for code but never communications, and my code is always 10x better than the untested slop I was constantly asked to review.

This is a guy with 30 years engineering experience, reduced to submitting untested and unreviewed slop code of a quality drastically worse than the least-experienced juniors in the company.

That phenomenon on a global scale is concerning to think about. That people are using these things outside of tech to get medical advice or as therapist replacements is even more concerning.
