AI and New Red Flags

Catalyst for efficiency in the Modern Digital World

Every professional today relies on AI across almost every field of human activity and industry. It streamlines work, making tasks much more efficient. This is especially true in the digital world, where tools like Cursor and Copilot accelerate coding processes and frequently help bridge knowledge gaps that developers may have.

The Illusion of Expertise

At the same time, AI exposes gaps in expertise that people might lack. Sometimes, people rely too heavily on “ChatGPT” judgments without realizing that it is not a true expert but merely a tool that only experts can use effectively. It does not allow you to jump from beginner or novice to senior-level proficiency, as you lack an understanding of all the necessary connections. Furthermore, AI is highly user-oriented—if it notices that you hold a particular vision, it will select only the facts that support it. This does not even account for hallucinations or outright incorrect answers that you might miss due to a lack of expertise.

AI evaluates AI

Another challenge arises when hiring for new team roles. Even before AI, hiring for positions where your team lacks expertise was sometimes very difficult. For example, if you’re hiring a developer but don’t know how to code or have little experience in building real products, you might rely on AI to generate interview questions, assess AI-generated responses, and then evaluate them using the same AI model. This can lead to AI evaluating AI, making it harder to judge a candidate’s actual skills.

Out of comfort zone

When this pattern becomes systemic, you may eventually realize that you are surrounded by a shallow imitation of expertise. There are few discussions—everything is decided through AI consultations. These are your red flags, and if you recognize them in time, they may save you. But sometimes you don’t—because this environment feels comfortable. All the answers seem clear, the same perspective is reinforced everywhere, and generally, everything appears to be going well. However, when you review the final outcome, you may find that it does not allow you to compete with professional teams.

We are on the brink of the next technological revolution, similar to the Scientific Revolution in the middle of the 20th century, and the importance of choosing the right technical partner has never been greater. At 7Fridays, we have assembled a team of true experts who have worked together for the last 10 years. During this time, we have gained extensive experience in web development, allowing us to quickly allocate the right person with the necessary expertise. I’m proud to be part of such a team.
