@lain_7 @hongminhee I focus on the tool because it seems that a lot of people who use this tool remain unaware of how it affects them. Maybe they are aware and just don't care, maybe even majority of them don't care, but in this particular case I was assuming the former.

I think it’s wrong to focus on the tool — since it shifts the “blame”. A tool can be used well, or it can be used carelessly. It’s the person that decides how the tool is used.
I have to admit that, at least in coding, AI can overwhelm a person trying to use it carefully, but that doesn’t excuse *that person* submitting a careless, sloppy pull-request.

@lain_7 @silverpill For most tools, I would be inclined to agree with you. But not these tools with a human-shaped interface that are meant to tap into our human-recognizing biases. "Treat it like a junior developer", no, just no, it's a computerized tool. We already had languages to interface with computers and they weren't nearly as lossy as natural language.
