Fesshole 🧻To management, I say "I use AI techniques to ___". It's just my shell scripts from 2001 that still run perfectly everyday. I don't tell them that AI in that sentence actually stands for already implemented.

This is the way.
SupermoosieYou should actually tell management that AI sucks and Actually Implemented actually work all the time reliability.

Then they'll fire them and find someone to chase their pet buzzword.
Many such cases.

Ms. Denie@SuperMoosie @fesshole nah, stay employed

Flame@fesshole Just yesterday my manager commended me on my usage of AI to write a management summary. The thing is I didn't use any AI. I just wrote something really quick in 5 minutes and that was that.
mossman@flamecat @fesshole hmmm. to really be mistaken for AI you have to bloviate in slightly florid language for far too long and include at least one bulleted list... impressive if you can achieve that in 5 minutes.
(I myself write almost all my notes as text files with tab-levelled bullets, but my mails are usually just one or two paragraphs of one or two sentences - to the point)

Carlos SolísIn my case, AI means "automated in-house" and a few cron scripts generally make the job. Heck I have a script to organize my pictures by folder depending on whether they're from my camera, an artist's drawing, or a meme, then it adds its artist and OCR'd text if applicable to the file metadata, and finally sorts it by source of download using the file name. No LLMs required at any step (unless Tesseract OCR counts as one?) and it runs just fine in my nearly-e-waste of a home server.

@fesshole And management will use these kinda examples as a proof to how wonderful AI works, this isn't a good thing.
When asked to try to use AI, I tried. I failed miserably. Or wonderfully, depending on your p.o.v. I wasn't able to get anything useful done on the "experiment with using AI for work" day.
Wasn't even actively trying to sabotage it. I just literately had no idea how to do anything useful with AI.
I definitely am not going to fake AI productivity to give management a reason to think that this tool is a great help for me...
Kasiandra Richmond@fesshole Remembers me as a colleague found a shell script as work around many years after I was fired, and thought the problem was fixed by the devs. I just covered the default error messages and run automatic fixes. This was many years "magic" until they figured out I was just tired and lazy to do the same fixes every day. Would sell it as AI and burn company money for this.
