Well, that or it's taking a situation where the client didn't understand the software but the dev did, and turning it into a situation where no one understands what anyone's babbling about at a meeting.

How do you explain the constraints to the stakeholders if you didn't try to solve them yourself and you don't fully understand why they are constraints?

[edit] Just to add to this thought: It might be more useful to do the initial exploratory work oneself, to find out what's involved in fulfilling a request and where the constraints are, and then ask an AI to summarize that for a client along with an estimate of the work involved. Because to me, the pain point in those meetings is getting mired in explaining technical details about asynchronous operational/code processes or things like that, trying to convey the trade-offs involved.
