[quote=Anonymous]AI is starting to creep into my work and it is not good. 
For example. My boss, who is super lazy, used AI to generate a template he wanted me to use to generate a report. Problem is, 3/5 of the template had nothing to do with anything that would be relevant. So we then had to waste another hour on emails and meetings for clarification that would not have been needed if he had just thought it through and done the work himself. Sure, maybe he could have used better prompts or spent time with it to finesse the details, but he could have just spent 5 minutes doing it himself and had a better template, but he prefers easy and quick and “look at me, I know how to use AI!”

Then later this week, someone started distributing a poster another office generated using AI that contained some stats and looked very slick. Our leadership asked “Can you make something like this?” 
Our answer: sure, but let’s verify the data first. We checked it. It was full of errors, errors by omission, misrepresented information, and slop. But leadership, not having that much familiarity with the actual data, got sucked in by that slickness, and now that is what they want. Fast and slick. Accuracy being optional.

This is exhausting.
