    Am a boss. No we aren’t.

    I use it to interrogate our wikis and SharePoint, sprint data. It keeps me from having to ask my employees dumb questions.

    I use it to dig up info on stuff I don’t know about so I can make informed decisions or reduce the length of meeting because I can come prepared.

    People love to talk about slop like it is something new and can only be made by ai. Spoiler, people (such as the author of this dumb piece) have been making it for a long time.

      I am a boss, too. Yes, we absolutely are. It’s straight up stupid to pretend this isn’t an emerging catastrophie today.

      “But not all bosses!” Etc, etc.

      Enough bosses.

      If you are looking up something you don’t know about, how do you know the info provided us correct?

          Unlike Wikipedia, the references supplied by LLM output often point to material that doesn’t actually support the LLM output. This can be because the LLM misapplies it to the wrong context or because it’s incorrectly correlated and has nothing to do with what the LLM output making it unhelpful for determining the accuracy of the output.

          Sure it is, if I look something up in an encyclopedia or training material written by a subject matter expert I have high trust in its content. If I ask an AI I have low trust in its content. The two are not equivalent.

      You literally don’t know if the information you’re being given is accurate. Meaning you’re not making informed decisions.

      Spot on. It eliminates some tedious busywork, which is nice, but it’s not a game changer for me, at least not yet.
