MODERATORS
The main paradox here, seems to be: the 70% boilerplate head-start being perceived faster, but the remaining 30% of fixing the AI-introduced mess, negating the marketed time-savings; or even leading to outright counterproductivity. At least in more demanding environments, not cherry picked by the industry, shoveling the tools.
