Presumably software ENgineering, as in having their desire to see an end to the era where humans actually designed and built things and now wanting to outsource that job to letting the computer do all the hard parts, yet still feewing (sic) "powerful" and "in control", despite having no power to do anything at all and next to zero control beyond being at the mercy of essentially an autocorrect.

To be fair: (1) our current ability to see AI-generated slop is merely an extension of the past ability to see human-generated slop; and (2) the era of distrusting any "expert" system has most definitely predated any software tool now labelled as a"i" - see e.g. the current gutting of all "institutions" in the USA.

Company has a toy and they need to SELL SELL SELL, who really cares if the product actually generates anything beyond simply trash or not - won't someone think of the poor, poor whittle billionaires?

Disinformation is a helluva drug. 🤕🤢🤮
