Probably not what this article means but had a coworker at a previous job give a bunch of suggestions or answers at one point (want to say very small company single programmer is me, few tech support and sales people). One guy gives suggestions based on chat gpt, so I end up figuring out what is incorrect from the suggestion.
Mean I know he's trying to be helpful but giving suggestions that don't work is a bit of a time waster. To be honest I'm probably middling as a programmer, I can figure out stuff but not a fantastic one (maybe I sell myself short never come across an issue I couldn't solve but took time). So having to spend time to go over that just makes me go over stuff I really don't need to. Quite a pain, as much as I appreciate them trying to help it's a time waster checking out those options to see if they work.
