I have noticed an increase in the number of emails A&A is getting from "new potential customers" where it is slightly clear their enquiry has been partially, or entirely written by (badly prompted) AI.
As a result of this, when we get back to them sometimes the whole idea has changed, or they paste our reply into AI and then paste back AI's reply to us.
So far, 100% of these have been a complete waste of time.

I think that previously there were people with ideas, but without the skill to implement them. Whereas now, they perceive themselves to have the skill to implement them, using AI to actually do the work. I think this probably results in a customer we (or anyone else) might actually assertively not want. When things go wrong, they will possess no actual domain knowledge, and we will end up saying one thing, and their AI will say something different. And who/what will they trust?
