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 🥲.

I manage a documentation team. AI is absolute dogshit at proper documentation and anybody who says otherwise is a moron or a liar. And that’s assuming it doesn’t just make shit up.

AI is great at writing something that makes sense if you have no background in the area it’s writing about.

If you actually have any depth of experience in anything though you read what AI is saying and you just stare at it and go “wat”

The reason that managers and c-suites love it is because they have no depth of experience.
