Is anyone else experience this thing where your fellow senior engineers seem to be lobotomised by AI? I've had 4 different senior engineers in the last week come up with absolutely insane changes or code, that they were instructed to do by AI. Things that if you used your brain for a few minutes you should realise just don't work.They also rarely can explain why they make these changes or what the code actually does. I feel like I'm absolutely going insane, and it also makes me not able to trust anyones answers or analysis' because I /know/ there is a high chance they should asked AI and wrote it off as their own.I think the effect AI has had on our industry's knowledge is really significant, and it's honestly very scary.

@Purple Well, I am benefitting from others stupid vibe coding, but yes, I can't wait until the AI bubble bursts so we can get back to sane industry practices.

@Archivist @Purple i mean, that would be a short lesson: Don't.
