   Gosh this was a (recent) first-hand lived experience.

   I'm dismayed it's more prevalent than I hoped.

     I spent more time than I should have correcting fundamentals. Eventually I stopped. He was not, in any meaningful sense, on the other side of the conversation

     Also

     The reckoning will not be subtle. The firms still doing the work properly will be in a position to charge for it. The firms that have hollowed themselves out will discover that what they hollowed out was the thing the client was paying for.

     And

     Misunderstanding and misuse of AI in the workplace is rampant. In many of the rooms I now find myself in, expertise has been asked to look the other way: to deliver faster, produce more, integrate the tools more deeply, get out of the way of the colleagues who are “getting things done”

     These are all painfully familiar to read these days
