Roundtable: AI did the work. Did anyone do the thinking?

Using AI isn’t the same as doing good work.

Five acceptance criteria, a pile of risks nobody discussed, and a story structure that mutates every time the model updates. AI is flooding refinement sessions with confident-sounding output, and somewhere along the way “I used AI” started passing as a substitute for “I did good work.” It isn’t.

Strip away the polish and what’s often missing is the thing that actually matters: human intent. Someone driving the thinking, not just prompting a tool and shipping the result.

This roundtable is for those who’ve stared at AI-generated tickets and felt the confusion set in, and for anyone building the reviewer skills, quality gates, and gut-checks to fight back. Bring your worst AI-generated-nonsense story, bring what’s actually worked, and bring an opinion on where the line sits between augmenting your thinking and outsourcing it entirely. Come ready to discuss.
