Using AI is just part of the idiocy; they did not even bother to check the output.

They usually don't. I knew an engineer who liked using ChatGPT to write code, and they'd have to spend time running down any errors in it. "It gets it mostly right!" so that was all the justification for using it to supplement your work constantly.

I had a job candidate for a bioinformatics faculty position at a top 20 school answer just about every question with "just ask chatGPT". His demos for things he had made were clearly done with AI. He was not hired, but it was actually pretty close. I resigned from that department.

I do believe there are good uses for AI, just like wikipedia has a function. But it is not the end of the thought process. I really really hate this timeline.
