I agree, this is a trend I'm seeing all over the place with generative AI: first, break a functioning, human-based workflow by flooding it with AI generated content. Blame the persons maintaining the workflow for being the bottleneck and hindering innovation. Then, implement generative AI in the workflow review or approval process to keep up the pace, irrespective of how valuable the extra generated stuff has been.

Yes, AI etiquette is what we need. The question is “how much human processing on the AI output is necessary before considering it no longer a meat proxy”. My way to coin it is “If you feel the need to specify in your answer that it is AI generated, work it more”.

In the end, nobody cares whether you used your memory and expertise alone, asked a peer, googled it, or asked ChatGPT to refine your answer. As long as you verified it, rephrased to match company lingo and can vouch for it, everyone is happy.
