The "whiteboard defense:" I should be able to pull you aside at any moment and ask you to explain any customer-facing system you've shipped. You should be able to clearly explain how it works and defend the decisions you made. This is my benchmark for responsible AI usage.
I don't expect line-level familiarity with the code. I don't care if you remember the exact function name or implementation detail. You may not even know it. I don't care.
But if I ask "why did you do X instead of Y?", "what happens if this actor behaves maliciously?", "what data structure did you use here and why?", or "where does this fail?" you should be able to answer confidently.
For PoCs, demos, experiments, whatever: I don't care. Generate 100% of it and understand none of it. Speed over quality every time in those specific scenarios.
But if you're shipping customer-facing work, you can't be shipping things you don't understand at a high level.

Mariah Carey beginning with “I don’t want a lot for Christmas” and then revealing she wants “you” is such a good burn

This is mind blowing.
With GPT-3, I built a layout generator where you just describe any layout you want, and it generates the JSX code for you.

Check out Loonshots by @SafiBahcall. He suggests a resolution of this tension by separating the nimble loonshot teams from the larger franchise org and then connecting them via tech transfer — in his words Phase Separation and Dynamic Equilibrium

A ProTip for senior devs when doing code review (I forget this and rediscover it at an embarrassingly high rate): If you disagree with an approach but it is technically/functionally correct, approve that PR. Great tools put devs on the happy path, not nagging. Improve the tools.
