A hilarious yet painful reality in modern corporate IT: juniors submitting unedited ChatGPT output, forcing senior devs to become full-time AI slop editors.
I’m so f*cking tired of reviewing PRs and docs lately, bros. The new bloods are lazy as hell, just tossing raw, unedited AI vomit straight into the faces of us old-timers to review.
A frustrated sysadmin on Reddit is losing his mind because all the new hires are submitting docs entirely copy-pasted from ChatGPT. Zero editing. The formatting is off, punctuation is all over the place, and worst of all, it hallucinates wildly. It makes completely inaccurate assumptions about the organization's infrastructure.
From a high level, it looks professional and wordy—probably giving them more free time to doomscroll LinkedIn. But if you're a Senior or SME, you instantly spot that 20% of this engineering doc is complete bullshit. The OP literally cried out: "I spend my time feeling like an editor for a genius-level middle schooler with absolutely no frame of reference."
His final plea? Review your damn ai tools slop line by line before hitting send, or risk bringing down the entire production environment because you blindly trusted a chatbot.
The comment section turned into a group therapy session for traumatized senior devs:
Look, we all love shortcuts. Using AI to speed up boilerplate code or rough drafts is smart. But bros, the tools are supposed to serve you, not turn you into a mindless copy-paste monkey. Read what you generate. Check it against the actual environment of your company.
If you don't, you're not an engineer; you're just a highly paid API wrapper, and you'll be laid off the second management realizes it. Use your brain, keep your job, and stop making us seniors clean up your digital garbage.
