i'm pivoting to AI (Artificial Incompetence)

in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.

so not only must I use Claude, I have to cover for Claude's mistakes, and then go the extra mile to pass off my own work as Claude's.

@AmyZenunim "I don't know how to use it." That means they need to provide training, then. >.>

If they're putting the onus on you, at least make them put forth the effort and resources to provide training and lay out what they expect to see, so you can automate that process and having it give the illusion of you doing work with it.

Malicious compliance is the power move here.

@foxyloon they offer training, but as far as I can tell, it's just them telling you "be more specific in your prompts."

you don't train someone to use LLMs. the LLMs train you out of a job.

@AmyZenunim My line of thinking here is to go through the training to give that performative look of "I'm trying", but this ultimately sounds like a lose-lose no matter what you do. It's all circular logic that leads back to "bad performance" and shit-canning folks based on that.

Hoping you can find another job soon. :<
