FAANG colleague writes this week -- "I am currently being eaten alive by AI stuff for my non-(foss-project) work. I spend most of my day slogging through AI generated comments and code trying to figure out what is good, not good, or needs my help to become good. Or I'm trying to figure out how to prompt the tools to do what I want them to do"

This fellow is one of the few mature software engineers I have ever met who is rigorously and consistently productive in a very challenging mature code base year in and year out. or WAS .. yes this is from coughgooglecough in California

I must admit I'm totally lost on what this is trying to communicate.

What is "non-(foss-project) work".

Is this person saying AI is bad, because it's generating so much, or good, because they're using it?
