100%. Also, management.

I wish someone would go ahead and coin an AI version of Amdahl's law that states the work speedup from AI is dependent on amount of unverified AI output used.

Iow, if you 1:1 verified everything, there would be no time savings.

Ergo, you get management saying (1) we demand time savings due to AI & (2) we demand you fully check anything you use AI for.

End result? People skip (2) to hit (1).

Then management burns anyone at the stake whenever inevitable mistakes happen.

But that’s trivially false. There is an entire category of work where it is hard to come up with an answer and easy to verify the answer, which means that if you verified everything there would still be a large time savings.
