NVIDIA researcher: AI's biggest risk is brain rot — coworkers share agent reports they never read
JFPuget · x · 2026-09-25
NVIDIA researcher JFPuget quotes kirkroberts' joke about replying to AI-written emails with "just send me the prompt," then makes a serious point: AI's biggest risk is brain rot. Coworkers increasingly share AI-generated reports they clearly haven't read, deflecting questions with "the agent said that." He stresses he uses AI heavily but treats it as a tool, owns the results, and forces changes when output seems fishy — wishing there were a way to make people actually read what they share.
