There's no point at which turning your brain off will work

    I think a lot of people are not able to reason to this point and then adjust behaviour accordingly. They probably reason to the point when pressed for it, but cannot resist the low effort and low resistance route of asking AI, and then probably make up reasons why in their case it's fine (typical behaviour to address cognitive dissonance).

    Then again, for many people their job security doesn't depend on what work they do, it depends on how well they are embedded in the organisation. Before AI you also already had plenty of people doing their job at a questionable level, yet never seem to get fired.

      Combining your thoughts, one could almost think that being a meat proxy works for quite a long time, before institutional inertia catches up.

      Sounds like a quiet few years and then effort once demanded. So I guess... being a meat proxy does work, after all?
