Haha, i have a colleague, he is the "AI-is-for-everything-let-me-check-Claude-first":

Regardless which task is handed to him, he "discusses" it first with Claude and very often comes back with like "The AI said... X"

I have one too. He'll say "Claude says this:" and pastes a screenshot of some Claude Code output. Most of the time it's wrong, or makes assumptions that won't hold true. Or it comes up with some overcomplicated solution and I'm like "This is like a 10 line change, right here".

These people just destroy their ability to read and understand the systems they're working with. I actually see it as them making themselves redundant. Because if you can't understand anything without Claude, and Claude doesn't even give the right answers, then what are you worth?

I talk to Claude because I'm very talkative but I have nobody to talk to.
