idk if it is serious or not, but it is what I saw in indeed newsletter today.

Dude this boils down to “moving a hundred people is simple, I am a trained pilot and I used this 747 to move them”
Like great, you have the thousands of hours of training time required to understand a machine of that complexity and produce results.
Joe dirt has 8000 hours in his puddle jumper, and that’s the majority of the people these 747s are being foisted upon. They know how to fly, and they provide that service reliably.
Telling them to move 5 people with a machine they don’t need the volume or distance of, is irresponsible.
I’m not sure if I’m reading your intent correctly or not, but the AI agents actually excel at “puddle jumper” tasks. Stupid stuff that you could write a one-off script for, but damn that’s a lot of hassle. This afternoon a colleague and I were putting together a powerpoint slide deck based on a folder full of disorganized garbage. Claude digested the garbage and wrote a python script that wrote the .pdf and I’d swear it took almost as long to open Office 365 Power Point as it did for Claude to write the script that wrote the 7 slide .ppt file.
I get that it’s convenient
I’m saying it’s unsafe to use if you don’t already completely understand the output
Yeah, and that has been true of “modern tools” since forever. Somebody picks up a chainsaw - looks easy…
