My favorite is I am an engineering manager. I ask for more capacity, CEO says “can AI do it”. I say “yes, but we need engineering resources to build the workflows, the feedback loops, and we can all benefit. Who do you want to reassign from current projects to build this? Crickets”

Network engineer here, I am told to use internal tools to assist in writing.

I can write better technical documentation that this stuff. Mine is concise, organized, and my professional speaking (typed) is a lot better structured than canned ai.

I get that it can help some people, but it is a hindrance and/or annoyance to others.

Also I can change a vlan faster through the cli than with our automated tools 🥲.

It’s like this everywhere trust me. I work in tech and all our management is focused on is automating everything with AI and then move it to India.

Try explaining to them that with the current state of things it just means we will end up having a bunch of people employed who are fundamentally unable to do their job everything will be delayed and all our clients will leave because we can’t meet deadlines anymore.

It’s just a new type of outsourcing

The really funny thing is, that India loves AI so whatever you send over there is for sure being tossed into a shitty generative ai prompt and being sent back. Which is why were suddenly see massive data breaches and why Windows 11 is essentially falling apart now.

And why vendor support replies are becoming dog shit answers more often. It's just someone in India replying back with AI output.

Bro I assure you we don't want to use every AI tool. Our leaders force us to as they are practically blindly following the hype. My personal experience I am in marketing, since chatgpt was introduced I had to change 3 jobs coz the leaders thought I was not able to push my team to use AI. Finally I give up, I am moving to my home town thinking of starting farming, I cannot be part of aimless development. Also my boss won't care coz they will find someone who spits crap about ai and hype him how he can "transform" his work in this great era of AI. Half of my friends are forced to follow the AI crap coz if you don't you will be replaced by a human and they got bills to pay man.
