During a “AI traning” my job enlisted me, the instrutor, someone with apparently high technical knowledge of software systems and development, design patterns, with years of experience and supposedly familiar with using CLIs and Linux shell commands wanted to create a symlink to a file and instead of typing up the command, or if he did not remember it, just quickly looking up on a usual search or even a LLM powered search which command to use to archieve it, he wrote up on his Claude Code terminal “create a symbolic link from X to Y”…
The Claude Code agent of course performed the action correctly, however the amount of processing power wasted to execute some basic action of his job, which is executing a command correctly, was all left for the “AI” agent to do because it was “easier”.
I completely get you, man.

Yeah its a whole new level of lazy and destroying resources unnecessarily while smoothing out your brain. I just dont get it.
