The problem with AI is that "someone" may not exist.
I think the bigger risk is what happens when they retire if we are not training the next generation of professionals.
This is exactly what we were saying with programming during early day of LLM. But that does not stop people from doing 100% vibe-coded projects.
You can try asking.
The only way for them to prove themself to the mass is a live coding session, without AI of course
That's ridiculous... Let's vibe code everything, but with a doctrine and principles!
If I'm going to do vibe coding, I don't need principles. No rules! And no future.
Yes I know.
But the topic of this thread was "slop", not training
To me AI generated content is exactly like that. Cheap, fast and easy access.
It's fine for occasional consumption, and in some setting it's definitely not suitable to be served.
Not going to comment on your workplace specifically, but I’ve found this to be an issue with other industries like real estate long before ChatGPT were a thing.
The problem is the people who pickup the phone, greet you at the shop door, or take the photos, they’re the lowest paid juniors and thus know nothing.
So in most industries, you were always lucky to get through to someone with knowledge on the first attempt.
