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 boss was curious about it, so she asked me to show her how to use it. She wanted to have it summarize some data from a spreadsheet. It hallucinated with the very first prompt, and she lost all interest in it (win). Later, I disabled everything copilot I can in our tenant and implemented policies to hide/remove it from our PCs. I’ve only had one employee (one of our fire captains) complain about it so far, but I don’t feel bad as his boss was complaining about the AI slop he was turning in on fire reports.
I don’t really see ChatGPT or others popping up in our network traffic either, though I don’t know how/if they are using it on personal phones.
My situation might be different than the average fedi user though… not a very technical group other than me (one guy IT department).
Most blessed outcome. Lucky!
