automation poisoning
The phenomenon observed in late 2022, around the time when OpenAI's
ChatGPT gained widespread adoption, of a younger generation of software developers holding the specific belief that, due to the
disruptive technology behind artificial intelligence models such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and chat agents such as ChatGPT, all tasks are able to be completed entirely or partially via these AI advancements.Moreover, this sickness can be identified as more severe if the individual
under suspicion of infection can be observed saying the blatant phrase: "I could automate that." Other signs of infection include a drastic decrease in productivity, which is in rare cases followed by a massive spike in the same productivity. This spike is less and less frequently being observed in the community.
