Why are we training firefighters when we could just be hiring people who already know how to do it?
We're all dealing with things.
I only open the windows to let the fresh air out.

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm afraid to click things if I don't know what they will do because I have no idea if I'll be able to undo it if I don't like it.

I even tried hovering over the "Improve work item" button to see if there would be more information, and luckily it has a tooltip containing the text "Improve work item" to clarify.
Something I've noticed with new "AI"-related features is that there is no indication of what they will do. Jira has a button on tickets that says "Improve work item". Google docs has a button that says "Generate document". I don't see how anyone would be able to click these things when there's no indication of what will happen and I have no clue how they could possibly do anything useful. It's striking to me that, even if I wanted to use LLMs for any of this stuff, the UX is so baffling that I don't even know if I could.
