The AI Cut and Paste Dilemma

When a ticket goes from no content to 1000 lines of content, here is where my mind immediately goes now.

  1. Who did the work?
  2. Where did they do it?
  3. Can I follow it?

I use AI to help me troubleshoot and track down problems – no one knows it all – and that goes for you to AI!

After being burned a few times, with AI usage, I have found myself now in an instant doubting mood when I see long pieces of content come my way, where I now have to remind myself – someone might have put a lot of effort into this and I should give it the time it deserves.

If you are working with AI to solve a problem, great stuff, but make sure it has your own stamp on it, and yes, make sure we can see your work.
