This is definitely a real thing. I think part of it is inherent to the shift, we’re now managing multiple agents which means more context switching than before.
I think part of it is just a point in time thing though (hopefully).
We can’t trust the agent output so need to check it. We can’t trust the agent to use common sense so have to think through every clarification instead of assuming a competent peer will come back with any necessary questions instead of making bad assumptions.
I think all of these things will continue to improve over time.
For myself AI quickly went from so painful to being avoided to something I can’t work without.
