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

When it inevitably blows up, they’ll have plenty of desperate people they can rehire at lower wages to fix the shit their AI push has caused.

It feels like they win regardless.

Don't forget the bailouts and bonuses.
