Here s a failure mode I don t see discussed much.

Imagine an operations agent notices that every morning, 30 orders arrive with incomplete shipping information.

So it:

Not looking to stir up trouble here, but genuinely asking. The first version of my app was mostly put together with prompts, and it took about four hours to have a functional demo. Then came three weeks of fixing bugs that the prompt-based approach caused, like data type mismatches, weird behavior when form fields were empty, etc.

I suppose adding up total time spent, it may not have been quicker than if I had written the whole thing from scratch, though it certainly felt quick at the time because early success was very tangible.

There s a growing tendency to flag AI-generated text. There s even a term for low-quality AI-generated content - AI slop.

And honestly, I understand why.

Communication should feel real. If every comment, post, or message is generated by AI, the picture becomes blurry.

But then I have a question.
