It occurs eventually once the slop enjoying programmer is de-skilled where they only glance at AI output and start losing track of the bigger picture.

The most obvious one for code is the "comment above a line of code that describes exactly what the code does"

# This does A with B as an input
DoA(B)

Ding ding ding. When an AI is spitting out code like a tutorial yet the contributor doesnt know that the comments are unhelpful (or worse, they havent read it at all)
