Where AI helps and where human judgment is non-negotiable
Talk this through in your own words: "You used an LLM agent to triage and rank a batch of bug reports for a prioritization meeting. What is the fastest way to fail the AI-judgment signal Cursor screens for?" Finish with the next move.
Step 1 of 2
Where AI helps and where human judgment is non-negotiable
Clustering and deduping high-volume reports.
Drafting repro steps and first-pass summaries of forum / Discord threads.
Turning a messy week of signal into a themed first draft.
Final severity and priority on anything touching data loss or security.
Confirming a repro actually reproduces before it reaches engineering.
The judgment call on whether a theme is a real trend or noise.
Show you understand AI failure modes from the user's side, not just the builder's. You'll be fielding reports of hallucinated edits, oversized diffs, lost context and agent loops - so speak about them as a power user who's hit them, which doubles as evidence you actually use the product.
"The agent labeled it, so I trusted it" is the anti-pattern that ends the round. Fluent output is the trap - an LLM will rank a low-severity bug as P0 with total confidence. The signal is that you distrust the fluency and verify the claim under it.
