Yes, unfortunately a lot of requirements and specifications are now AI slop, thus developers stop reading them, and agent produce even more slop.

We need to take back writing requirements and specifications to humans.

Adopting high level BDD style testing of human written user stories (cucumber) is probably a good idea.

Just have AI write requirements then another AI write specs based on the requirements then another AI write tests based on the specs and another AI write the implementation based on the tests then another AI write the PR based on the implementation then another AI approve the PR and another AI deploy approved PRs to production!

Don't forget: let the user's AI use the product, find flaws, submit AI-generated bug-reports, which get turned into AI-generated tickets, etc.

And meanwhile, did any human find the whole process useful - no, not all...

Also, the entire thing is fully funded with AI tokens, which are paid for with money from investments into AI companies, made with AI pension funds.

Wait, no, that's ACTUAL HUMAN pensions, because plenty of AI companies are still "investment grade"
