How do we better leverage AI?

I've been in this meeting.

More than once.

They really do talk like this.

And it's always the failing company founder whose choices fucked the company up beyond all saving.

Now they're pointing fingers and talking about AI like this, as though the problem is inefficiency and not the fact that their product is redundant/shit or their public image is destroyed.

It's you guys!

Get using AI guys, learn a whole new skill and build an entire tech department while delivering lots of work really fast.

Train 10 robots to do your job whilst still doing your job at full capacity and learning how to train the robots to do your job...and checking/editing the robots work as it learns to do your job.

When your boss starts talking like this...

You know the company is FUCKED.

Time to start interviewing.

When there’s a middle school paper due and you bust out the thesaurus for “use”

Too accurate. Anyone who hasn’t experienced their corporate leaders pushing AI should count themselves lucky at this point.

Have you tried firing everybody?

Ultimately, the boss is asking you "OK, look to your left... look to your right... why should I fire those two and not you, you must reference AI in your response"

You laugh. But my manager literally asks me if every one of my projects could be at least partially completed by leveraging AI.

You can better leverage AI by attaining stakeholder alignment via agentic, synergistic, tech agnostic, asynchronous technologies. Duh…..or just fire everyone and outsource to India like everyone else does.

Replace the CEO with AI probably.

This is accurate except this guy has waaaay too little contempt for his employees
