Before Asking a Colleague, People Now Ask ChatGPT

You opened ChatGPT before asking your teammate. The Slack window was right there. You still chose the AI tab. A small moment. Easy to ignore. You are stuck on a sentence in a report. Instead of messaging a colleague, you paste the paragraph into ChatGPT. A developer hits an error. Instead of searching StackOverflow, it goes straight into the chat window. In a Zoom call, someone pauses mid-sentence, eyes drift to another tab, and they come back with the phrasing they needed. No announcement. No policy change. No.
