AI is so smart these days that I typically just ask Claude to verify the code for me.

This sort of request may have made sense in the old days but as the quality of generated code rapidly increases, so does the necessity of human intervention decrease.

I literally just scrolled past a thread discussing the psychology of shamelessness and undeserved self-confidence that creates all this drive-by AI pull request slop wasting everyone else’s time and see this comment…

If you're going to put something on someone else's desk, you're going to have to own it.

If you don't check it yourself, then you're going to own whatever your tooling misses, and also own the amount of others' time you waste through what the project has decided to categorize as negligence, which will make you look worse than if you simply made an honest mistake.

If you care so little, why are you even prompting at all? Surely you can leave it to its own devices without troubling it with your wishes? It seems like the farther you go down this path, the more likely it is that it'll have something better to do.
