Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

What is going on with AI?

Is AI at the bank actually beneficial to anyone. So far, all it does for me is make things slower than normal (looking at you, EVA). The tools we have seem so disjointed, and I’m told to start using them, but also that I have to verify the accuracy of the AI outputs, which just takes longer than actually doing the work myself. Even for simple tasks, it typically takes longer for me to get the AI to write an email for me than it does to just write an email myself. When I complained about layoffs on my team, I was told that it should be fine because we have AI now, but the AI can’t actually take on the projects my former colleagues did, and it definitely can’t work across the various systems we have to use.

Is it actually helpful in some areas? Or are we just having this garbage shoved down our throats because it’s the latest trend to force it on everyone.

@f8 Adding to that...can you even have a thought on your own without help?

@bz Nice copy-paste from ChatGPT or Copilot, bro. How impressive. NOT. Can you even compose a sentence without help?

@bz - that’s a lot of AI slop to say not much of anything.

@ap As long as you get yours who cares about anyone else right?

Business leadership in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shifted from passive exploration to strategic execution. Today's leaders no longer view AI as a futuristic concept, but as a core driver of competitive advantage and operational excellence.

Significant progress has been made as organizations transition from proof-of-concept trials to full-scale deployment. Leaders are successfully integrating AI into workflows, resulting in widespread success stories centered on two main pillars:

Unprecedented Productivity: Teams are automating routine tasks, streamlining supply chains, and accelerating data analysis. This allows employees to shift their focus from administrative maintenance to high-value strategic initiatives.

Measurable Added Value: Beyond doing things faster, AI is helping businesses do things better. Companies are leveraging predictive analytics to anticipate market trends, hyper-personalize customer experiences, and develop entirely new business models that were previously impossible.

Ultimately, modern leadership requires balancing this rapid technological adoption with responsible governance, ensuring that AI tools augment human capability rather than replace it.

@ad Excellent point. Plus, unlike those other technologies, this one has an “alien mind” feature to ensure our complete annihilation. Joking / not joking

It has been somewhat helpful but mildly slow. While it can speed some things up, it can't speed them to the extent that executives are pushing and therefore only causing MORE burnout and MORE resentment.

It's just the hot thing for managers to be implementing. I've noticed all the kiss as--s in my team are the ones embracing AI. Just suggest any change that co-pilot can make to your group and the efficiencies and it will not matter if it's actually an improvement or not.
