ASSISTED_NOT_REPLACED
HUMAN_IN_THE_LOOPI use AI the same way I use any other tool — deliberately. It handles the repetitive parts so I can focus on the parts that actually require judgment: architecture decisions, interaction quality, whether something feels right. The output still has to pass my bar. Most of it doesn't on the first try.

CHATGPT
Quick lookups, alternative perspectives, rubber duck with a better vocabulary.
