@AndrewRadev funny story. Started using <company mandated genai> to 'summarize my email and chat messages from yesterday until today' - seemed to be working pretty well. saved me 30 minutes of obsessive email and chat scouring. I still glance at the messages myself, but no longer to the same level of diligence I had been for the last decade since becoming a senior specialist.

Fast forward to friday, where its feedback was 'you are OOO today (i was not) and that the deployment to integration QA was a resounding success (it had failed)' i had a laugh, perused messages, nothing jumped out, went on with my day.

10am the Domain Architect pings me asking how the P0 raised from yesterday is coming along.

Not only had Jira not updated to include the defect raised, it went entirely missed by both gen AI as well as my cursory review of the over 500 messages I received from the previous day.

Luckily my QA was diligent and had already started the recreation, and intellisense with call heirarchy allowed me to quickly and efficiently resolve the issue, but holy fuck folks, that was almost my 21 year career.

so yeah. #genAI is going fucking great.

I have no idea what you just meant, as a Boomer dinosaur, but this shows me both how much and how little work has changed: 1. I don't understand the tech at all 2. Incompetence upstream and shifting blame downstream remains in full effect but now done by robot.
Sincerely,
"OK, Boomer"
