Or maybe just don't use AI at all? It's not a reliable source of information, it's unsustainable in terms of resources consumed, it's unethically trained and it makes everyone's lives worse.
We were having an urgent issue at work and my coworker said he had a solution and I said what was it and he sent like three paragraphs which I read through and I said, "what the fuck does this even say? did you even read this?" he said, he thought it was a solution and I asked why he bothered to even send it and he said he wanted to send me the "source". I was like, I don't have time to deal with the core of this issue but if anyone sends me AI shit without checking it themselves, I'm gonna flip.
They tried to solve the problem using AI, got AI slop, but didn't understand why it wouldn't help.
