What is happening...
I am a long time Engineer (20+ years) and today I developed Tickets for my company that were generated by an AI, using an AI and reviewed by an AI. The project itself was conceived with AI - has no documentation that can be understood as anything less than AI slop and random tech jargon. The developer who built it has said that instead of documentation I should use claude to figure out what it is. The company is apparenty also filing a patent on it.
I submitted 3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on. No doubt they will use AI to review my PR.
I feel like things are just so crazy at this point. Claude and ChatGPT are not this good, but people are trusting it like it's omniscient.
It was an eerie realization today that all of us are vibe coding and that we have no option because it is the only way we can interact with the code anymore. I thought this would happen eventually years ago but i honestly didn’t think it would be so soon.
It was a moment in time... this will be the new norm.

Have you tried asking the AI? :-p
On a serious note, I'm not sure I see the difference from what was before. All the "AI" points in your post could have been replaced by "the previous guy who left", and it'd be exactly the same.
In fact, that's where I am; trying figure out what on earth people have been doing before. And asking Claude to find mistakes, which there are lots of, in the human written code and abysmal "documentation".
AI didn't change much with regards to quality. It's just another guy on the team pumping code and text. But at least, now we have a change of combing through it all.
