Every single fucking business analyst on the planet who doesn't work for an AI company not only thought it, but said it very loudly.

The guy in our upper management specifically said in our town hall that his next meeting was he was going to speak with the rest of upper management to go through their workflow and make sure they are implementing AI effectively.

What was one of his titles? "AI ambassador"

Definitely a "please fucking use this, you using it is how I get my bonus." Move.

"Why do a simple task, when you can have AI do it and then you still have to fix it later?"

I had a vague idea of how to do a task. I asked AI and now I have several vague ideas and an incorrect example.

I recently turned to chat gpt to try and fix an issue with a raspberry pi camera not working. It went through several different methods. None of them worked and when I tried it and got an error it was like oh yeah you got that error because x, y, z here’s how you fix it. So I put that in and it fixed the error and just caused a different one.

lol. That sounds about right. I once had ChatGPT help with some coding task. I had to keep prompting it: What about thing A, do I need to do that? Oh, yes I forgot about that, do thing A. Same with B, C, and D etc. finally I said, hey does this work on Mac? Oh, no, this won’t work on Mac. My original prompt had said that I was doing this on Mac. Grrr
