My previous boss (the CIO) began using AI back in May of last year in a desperate attempt to not get fired. He had spearheaded a shift to a SaaS product that ended up costing us 200x more than our in house solution and was in hot water for that. Additionally a new COO was about to be hired who was previously a CIO and might figure out that he didn't really know anything.

Since he had basically bullshitted his way into the position I think he turned to a bullshit engine to assist him in saving himself. Ultimately his efforts were futile and he was let go.

The new COO appears to be just as enthralled to AI... She was in my office the other day asking me questions about our MDM, feeding my answers into copilot, and then asking my follow up questions that it gave her.

Beautiful, maybe I should get an mba.

the problem with that is having to turn off your brain, which most of us can't do
