An article was shared on one of my clients’ Slack about AI and testing: how about approaching testing when AI is changing the code all the time, kind of.
The people are enthusiastic about the article coz it kind of confirms their not-so-performant testing strategy.
I violently disagree with the article because it confirms bad habits.

So, want to write an article about it, but referencing the article feels like shaming the author. How to avoid that? How should I move forward?

@tdpauw Hmm, if you frame it how you did it now (this article made my client think X, which is understandable. Unfortunately the facts are/my opinion_observation is Y) that seems like a sensible approach to me. As long as you're not saying "how could one ever believe AI would solve this?!" it's not shaming but proving a point and_or fact.

You cannot prevent the author from _hypothetically_ feeling insulted by not being right. You can just be kind and empathetic.
