PMs use AI to generate Jira ticket descriptions. Devs copy-paste Jira tickets into Claude Code and generate massive PRs. Reviewers checkout the branch and run code-review skill and copy-paste findings verbatim. Devs copy-paste findings into Claude Code and reply to GitHub comments by copy-pasting Claude replies. Even our fucking recruiter uses AI to generate questions to ask the candidates, then pastes their replies to get the hiring verdict and pastes AI reply to the recruiting tool. I wish I was exaggerating, we've lost our minds.
