On cognitive surrender, giving in to AI, Addy Osmani says 1:

Most of us don’t surrender on the easy stuff. We notice when an agent invents an API or fabricates an import. The surrender happens further down the stack, in the moments where the cost of forming an independent view feels disproportionate to the task.

We can stay careful and form our own opinion. But there is also this moment when the ticket is almost done, the “Merge” button is within reach, and a last bug gets in the way. The temptation to give in is there: let the AI finish the job and get the reward of shipping, that small dose of dopamine. It is not necessarily to maximize metrics and get a reward from the organization, as Osmani says later in the article; it can also be a more personal search for reward.
