The problem is also people, like project managers, suddenly coming in and showing us what his AI companion responded to the bug we were hunting.

See? Just do it like this, isn't that hard.

I took a look and it was so wrong, but written with so much confidence, that everyone thinks, that's it. The correct answer.

When i told him that, he just waved it away.

For many this is like "at last i can see what the devs really do, how much code they write, how long it should take."

Confidence is indistinguishable from correctness if you lack competence and experience. Now in addition to the competent and experienced having to interpret the requirements and do the work, they must also sift through half baked AI solutions.
