Now imagine that your work specs are generated by an AI agent that the EM is using.

Do you still care about the work?

If my manager can't be bothered to do any actual work but expects me to, no. I'm quitting. Next question.

Even if I do still care about it, I hope I'm not so naive as to think that following the words of the AI agent will cause me to achieve my EM's intent. They'd be a useful reference at best for my actual knowledge of what they want that I found elsewhere.

Brother, I don't care who writes the specs as long as they sign the checks on time. And yes, I do care about my work even if upstream is slop. In a relay race, you can lower your performance to weakest leg, or you can be the strongest leg. And maybe I just like to run.
