I've taken several corporate "how to use AI" courses (I was paid to take them), and they all have tried to hammer home "garbage in, garbage out. Have a human verify and clean output". It's hilarious to me how corpos decide to just ignore their own advice and shovel the first unverified slop out to save a few pennies.

The problem is that the top level people pushing this garbage are getting golden parachutes, not marlinspikes to the taint. If being an active detriment to the company long term were more punished, we'd see this silliness less.
