I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.
They send me documents they “put together” that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren’t doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.
I feel like I am living in a nightmare.
My company has its own internal system that leverages GPT models. So yeah it’s definitely becoming prevalent. My boss specifically is always toting it as some amazing tool, all the other business wankers think it’s great, my direct colleagues have taken to letting it summarize their meeting notes and clean up their emails before sending.
All in all, it’s a grim situation. From the execs who think it will change the workforce for the better, down to the average workers who are losing their ability to proofread.
I’m beyond the point of airing my grievances and just find myself idly standing by hoping enough of them get owned by it somehow and become weary of it. I don’t think that’s gonna happen, but a guy can dream.
