Thing is, that "trivial question asking" is part of what causes this phenomenon

what should we do then?

i also personally wouldn’t use AI at all if I didn’t have to compete with all these prompt engineers and their brainless speedy deployments

Gotta argue that your more methodical and rigorous deployment strategy is more cost efficient than guys cranking out big ridden releases.

If your boss refuses to see it, you either go with the flow or look for a new job (or unionize).

The abstract seems to suggest that in the long run you'll out perform those prompt engineers.

you should stop using it and use wikipedia.

being able to pull relevant information out of a larger of it, is a incredibly valuable life skill. you should not be replacing that skill with an AI chatbot
