    Literally a meeting at work today.

    Director: “Why was this requirement missed?”

    PM: “Well, my understanding is that AI was used to write the requirements and that AI was also used to generate the code and perform code reviews. …So there were no actual people who understood the requirements involved in the process. Also, this seems to be becoming more and more of a problem.”

    Director: “Oh. Uh… Ok. Maybe don’t bring up “AI” whenever you discuss this with senior management because I’m not sure how well that will go over. Just say, ‘the requirements were missed.’”

      Yeah, you shouldn’t blame AI. You should directly blame the person who implemented the LLM system used.

      “AI didn’t realise meeting requirements was important”

      No one read the PRD in detail! Shocking

      Edit: This is what meetings should actually be used for. Going through line by line and reading the document aloud to sanity check and discuss potential misses imo

        That would actually make meetings a valuable use of our time which is exactly why it won’t happen.
