I've used AI for work. We have something built based on claude. I only use it for finding particular lines of code, finding datadog logs, maybe identifying bugs, and finding old Jiras. It basically just saves time then the rest I do myself or work with engineering.

Your comment tells me you never worked with someone in the C-suite before. Most Chief level positions will happily confirm their nonsense is great.
