My director level manager has no management or relevant experience and is essentially an AI bot. Every question is answered by AI. Every meeting they are using what I suspect is Teams live captions to copy text and put it in AI and I’m then read an AI response word for word I can see their eyes reading text. The response is delayed while AI answers, they stumble and the response is generally not relevant or wrong. Is anyone else experiencing this? I’m not against AI but this feels insane.

@OP can you ask to turn on transcription (and recording screen) for ease of minutes? This will create documentation of the AI reading. Surely someone reading AI text can’t keep anything straight? Copilot will be able to point out discrepancies and also gives you proof, especially if their AI answers are wrong, against policy.
@af RIP Sir Patrick Stewart (Locutus)
@hr gotta use the pulse assist! ☠️
Wait until you get your evaluation - entirely written by AI - might as well write your self eval the same way - all you want is meets anyway
@h9 interesting. My AI bot manager doesn’t know what a policy is because their prompts are written like a 5 year old and Chat can’t access our policies.
Mine uses AI to generate replies frequently. It's always very apparent. I'm to the point though where I think an actual AI manager might be easier to deal with. My human manager is unwilling/unable to consider any reasons one might need to deviate from exactly what a policy says.
@af I like the Borg comparison - sadly, it's really accurate.

@aw If you run C++ code backwards it conjures Beelzebub.
You know, when I was going to college I remember my Grandmother (who was alive at that time) telling me that computers were from the devil. I remember shrugging it off as to some kind of generational out of touch superstition.
At the time, however, it did kind of hurt my feelings, seeing as how I was a Computer Science major. Now, I honestly wonder if maybe she was right all along.
@a1 yes, unfortunately this is a real person behind the AI curtain. Wishing it was a real AI bot so I could at least prompt with good scripts, but I’m stuck with the low level bot I have now until their AI use is revoked.
Will I become a social media sensation if I self-identify as AI?
@af I agree and I am concerned it will only get worse. Society cannot grasp at this time the deteriorating effects that generative AI will have on humanity.
And I say this as an almost 60 year old computer science makes that has worked with creating applications and understanding the old brute force type AI. So, I am not speaking out of ignorance.
Someday people will probably be making confessions to an AI bot, speaking to an AI bot that sounds just like their late parents, having worship services where an AI bot os leading the congregation, and maybe even someday being “married” to an AI bot.
Apart from the fact that such behavior is an indicator that your manager is apparently operating under fraudulent charade, and not equipped to handle the responsibilities of their position; the way that they're relying so heavily on AI is genuinely evil-creepy.
It's like people have moved beyond just selling out (as if that weren't bad enough to begin with), but they're now at the point where they've literally sold their souls.
And they've lost the human-to-human connection, where they see nothing wrong with presenting themselves to other humans as being only half-human, themselves. They're either unaware or they don't care that they are disrespecting themselves and you (and whoever else they "speak" with while relying soley on AI to direct their words and actions during these "conversations"). They've literally given their thought processes over to a mirage, a program, a THING.
They've assimilated into The Borg.
AI=The Beast System.
Avoid it at all costs.
I know our team is being encouraged to use AI for everything. I can always tell when leaders are using AI to answer questions by how lame it sounds. I’m losing a lot of respect for leaders who can’t answer a simple email without AI. It doesn’t need to be used for everything but it is. I’m sure metrics are being built for AI adoption and they are using it to get good metrics but it’s d-mb. It’s just another number to hit if it makes sense or not
AI can be set to interact with people in pleasing ways and with personality. Stiff leaders, not so much.
Leadership behaves and talks like AI bots anyway. It may be an upgrade to have all AI SLTs.
Are you sure it is even a real person ? I heard if you ask an AI bot to wave a hand in front of their face it disrupts the pixels and you can tell it is fake. Maybe they’ve replaced the uncaring, robot like humans with true AI- then they can have just one offshore worker behind the curtain running them all!!
