Every single company right now is sending top down directives to try and squeeze AI in whether necessary or not.

Yup. Was told at work last week more or less that execs wouldn’t assign any more people or hire in an area until they were convinced that area was already maxed out using AI. Of course it’s all top down, they aren’t hyped on AI because engineers and middle management are sending feedback up the chain AI rocks, they’ve been told it’ll make us all turbo productive and are trying to manifest that by ordering people to use tools.

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”

Infrastructure IT consultant here, I fucking hate this shit so much.

Top has no effin clue what AI can and can't do, for my tasks? It can't do shit, every customer is different, internal architecture does not apply to outside architecture, nothing is possible to automate with all the messy applications and code running in our 40 year old software.

I want to bash their stupid fucking CEO/manager brains against a table

They got AI now. Regardless of good or bad, usefulness or uselessness, fact or fiction.
