Using AI without losing your critical thinking

The industry has been using the term AI Psychosis to describe a person who blindly believes everything that AI says, leading to situations where said person develops strong beliefs in concepts that have zero grounding in reality whatsoever, simply because the AI claimed it was true.

AI-generated description of a problem and why the proposal in the PR is the correct solution for it, but one deep look is all it takes to realize that nothing in that description actually makes sense.

Every claim made by the PR turns out to be made up, making it just a big word salad that looks convincing at a glance but is complete nonsense if you really take the time to analyze it. This is a very real problem and personally I've been seeing it happen every day. But I think "psychosis" is a really bad way…
