You spend eight hours digging a ditch or getting a computer to put the button in the right place, then your boss gets an email saying you did that, and judges your usefulness on that email. The boss is not going out to look at the ditch or button, only the email. The AI can write longer, grander, more sycophantic, more frequent emails. It must be better at the job than you are.
I wonder about using the mandated "AI" tools to write lots of emails that are just gushing about how productive you are being and if that would be useful.
It's so real...
