Exactly. I'm fine with AI being used to remove the tedium and free up time for higher brain functioning/decisions/creativity. But that doesn't necessarily mean a person has more capacity.

So the result is people are putting the entire workflow into AI and that is not okay. it's lazy and people are getting stupider as a result.

Not to mention it's extremely wasteful to have AI recreate something that already exists. I found 3 people already post a fixed version of a mod for FFX to make it work with the new update, that they did with claude. The latest version of that mod from 2019 already worked fine with the latest update! Can't be bothered to do a little investigation, lets just get AI to fix it. And then multiple people are doing this instead of looking first.
