The discussion emphasizes the evolving role of humans in AI workflows, particularly the shift towards having humans operate after the AI loop instead of within it. This change is seen as beneficial, as it allows humans to retain agency rather than being reduced to tools within the AI's decision-making process. Examples include coding agents like 'Windsurf' and the OSS autonomous agent 'Kwaak' at Bosun, which allow developers to operate in parallel to AI systems. However, concerns arise about the quality and reliability of AI outputs, leading to the necessity of careful reviews of AI-generated work, although this tediousness may decrease as AI advances.
