The bad news for them is that AI is terrible at getting it 'right' the first time, so they have to do things over and over again guessing until it works. So the AI-heavy user pretty much has to just let the commands run to get any benefit since otherwise it's spending 95% of its time waiting on user to approve commands. Further, it's likely commands the user doesn't understand, because they are asking AI to do it in the first place frequently because they don't know themselves.

I'm with you, but as a result other people proclaim to be 'better' AI users largely because they trust the AI. Their stuff is crap and once in a while one of them blows themselves up, but in the short term they are getting praise from management.

Man I can't wait for the bubble to pop and management no longer being hyped for the sake of hype over it.
