    I agree with you, but still, the AI doesn’t do this by default which is a shitty defense, but it’s fact

      Absolutely… this just illustrates that these AI tools are, at best, some assistance that need to be kept on a very short leash… which can only be properly done by people who already know how to do the work the AI is supposed to assist with.

      But that is NOT what the AI bubblers are peddling
