I think work output, in any field, using AI is going to mirror the quality standards of the creator pre-AI. There is no replacement for how hard you push yourself to be true to the task at hand. If one has always been lazy, AI can only spiral you down to the lowest of lows. For those who strive to be at the top, AI can get them way beyond others’ reach. Ultimately, as you say - it is not about AI at all!
verification of cases would not have taken 30 minutes. 5 minutes would have been more than enough. Even 30 seconds might have told him that there was no such case or no such case in the jurisdiction that he wanted it in (i've caught ChatGPT making up cases based on Minneapolis ones for Melbourne, Australia). So sounds to me that Swarz was just lazy. Deserves his fine, in fact should have been larger.
100%! I think this is one of those "frameworks" that are obvious in hindsight (like you say: it doesn't take a genius to see this), yet so many people still don't get it. You're absolutely right - it's always been crucial to take responsibility for the work, yet genAI makes people think they don't have to.

Excellent point. I look at AI like as my extremely fast, grammatically talented but somewhat dumb intern.
