Lately, I've had some coworkers empowered by AI in really cool ways, building mockups using code they can't personally write to present to me, an actual engineer. Not with the expectations of a final product, but to express their thoughts and ideas and how they would envision a project moving forward. I think that's a really cool and exciting use of AI, allowing non-technical people to better communicate with technical people.

Then I see crap like this and think "we need to burn this shit down immediately."
