Meat Proxy /miːt ˈprɒk.si/ (noun)
A human who blindly copy-pastes or parrot-relays AI-generated information without reading, digesting, or validating it first.
The job is not relay. The job is judgment.
1
Know what you are saying.
If challenged, you should be able to explain the reasoning in plain language without pointing back to the prompt.
2
Make a real decision.
Choose what to keep, cut, question, verify, and rewrite. Your edits are where your standards become visible.
3
Own the final sentence.
By the time it reaches another person, it is no longer an AI answer. It is your claim, your recommendation, your risk.
“By all means, prompt AI. But don't just relay the output. Read it, understand it, validate it, and then write a response in your own words (a decent certificate that you've done the prior steps). Making that effort is value you can add.”
