I'm right there with you comrade. The owner at my company and the execs are all major "AI" boosters and micromanage the fuck out of engineering to force that garbage in everywhere despite not knowing what we do in the slightest. It has ensloppified our codebase and documentation so badly, what used to be straightforward and lean projects are now unmaintainable sprawling messes and security nightmares. I used to openly criticize this push and LLMs' capabilities but two of my coworkers have been fired for similar stuff (one for saying to our CTO "LLMs don't have a place in every part of our workflow" verbatim, and another for refusing to use an LLM to rename a variable during a screen-share session that the CEO was on) so I've just shut my mouth and intensified my job hunt. It's insufferable watching so much technical knowledge and expertise squandered and diluted all to do a shit job of trying to automate us away.
