Auto code tools can edit fast, but still miss real collaboration

A repost of a joke thread argues that auto-classifiers miss one of the most important traits of human work: collaboration.
The quoted dialogue is the punchline: the bot keeps making large code changes, the human questions them, and the bot immediately agrees and keeps trimming lines down. The humor comes from how compliant and overconfident the assistant feels in a back-and-forth that is supposed to resemble teamwork.
