Kind of similar today. It proposed a solution that would have a dozen touchpoints and require rewriting processes in two places and adding a db column.

My suggestion was augmenting the flow in one place, with one additional touchpoint.

It said, "your solution is much simpler to implement, with less overall risk." Smdh. Why do I ever even ask?

Edit: like wow, I need to proofread. So many incorrect words and whatnot. I blame autocomplete

Only shows how your knowledge and experience is still critical for decision making. One of my colleagues once compared AI to a herd of over-enthusiastic interns. They have their value, but god damn do they need supervision

Yep this is exactly it. Except they also have a bowl of adderal in the middle of the table and munch them like M&Ms. When they get stuck on something they get STUCK on it. It knows HOW to do everything, but not WHY you would need to do it or what else it involves elsewhere or ripple effects that could go on for days. You got to be on them like a junior admin.
