chii | on: Don't be a meat proxy
He's basically asking other people to do his job for him, because he knows that the AI doesn't truly do it well enough.

I would say to him that if he wants me to do his job, he needs to pay me his salary.

My VP boss calls me 6 times a day to help him understand his copilot responses and asks why we aren't doing what copilot says we should do. I then have to spend multiple hours explaining why. His peers call him to understand their copilot responses which he then copilots and calls me to help interpret. On and on and on

This sounds like true hell. I am very sorry.

No, that's not hell yet. The boss in this case knows their own limitations and asks the technical person to help. True hell is when the boss thinks AI most be more knowing than the human. 'But Claude said it, do it!'

Sounds to me like developer jobs are not going away after all. Somebody needs to understand what the AI communicates.

Sounds more like job security to me.
