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.
Not OP but:
In our company programmers are still fully responsible for the code they commit and must be able to explain it in a PR review.
It just speeds up things, it doesn’t replace anyone.
Simple things that would’ve taken a day can be done before lunch now, just because it’s just prompt + read code + PR (full unit and integration test suites ofc, made by humans)
Oh, my sweet summer child.
Let’s see, we’re understaffed even now and with AI we can kinda keep up.
But I’ll eat my liquorice shoe like Chaplin if this turns into massive layoffs 🫠
