Q: How to get coworkers to stop giving me ChatGPT-generated suggestions

Maybe I am missing something, but why are you asking those coworkers questions they have no expeirence in helping you with?

Ok, and how are you 100% sure that the gpt suggestions are so wrong and ludicruous, and not just your lack of experience?

And as importantly, are you thje only dev working on that engine?

@AidaPaul Both at once: I take the time to understand and consider each suggestion, not rejecting anything out of hand, and share them with my team members (of which there are 17). Their advice has been, thus far, to "just ignore". However, I would not like to treat my co-workers that way.

Is it possible the artists are using ChatGPT suggestions as a means of passive-aggressively demonstrating its limitations? Did you or someone in management at some point say something dumb like calling them overpaid "now that everything they do can simply be done with AI for cheaper"?

Question I do not see fully explained, is why they do this? Why are they trying to help you? Don't they think you can do the job?! That you explaining that something are unfeasible, is wrong?
