Ask HN: AI efficiency in the workplace
6 comments
Everything lately is just AI slip specs that people ask me to review. Like, if they spent 10 mins LLMing it I can’t afford to spend 3 hours reviewing it. The same is now happening with code and the quality is decreasing rapidly as we lose critical thinking skills.
Ultimately the trade off for “productivity” IMO is decreased critical thinking for everything offloaded into AI.

LLMs might not be perfect but with these advancements and opus coming into picture, coding as well as documentation have become super easy. I think you should warn the guy of the consequences, PRD/TRDs can be written simply in an hour or two maybe some discussion that requires a day. 3 days is just not done.
Just need to follow some rules for this issue. For example
1. Ask LLMs to be extra concise.
2. Instruct LLMs to avoid diving into details before confirming the general direction.
3. Remove not needed details before asking teammates to discuss/review.

just fire them if they can’t think
you have claude for that, to execute your plan
you need to hire a human to make that plan, using AI to improve it not using AI to come up with it. you should be doing that imo.
human thinks. ai executes what i tell it. it can detect patterns and work across dozens of files at once which i cant do as fast.

not in a position of doing that lul
I truly don't know what to do in this area, this goes against the whole premise of writing things up.
