I'm so sick on this AI Slop they keep pushing. They expect us to do in 1 month what previously took 6, while they can't even keep their servers online. I actually LIKE AI, and I use it daily, but they want to replace functional workflows and GOOD harnesses with hallucinated slop so they can throw around words like "agentic". How about we replace these SVPs with agents, we might actually be able to get stuff done. Maybe then leadership might actually be able to provide direction for once

Executive roles are the easiest to replace with AI, that’s the problem. Executives just want to push it down instead of realizing the way to save the company hundreds of millions would be to replace everyone with an SVP title and above with a chatbot. The only roles we HAVE to have are a CEO, CFO, and a General Council. Everyone else down to VP or Director are just for show.
Gen X loves AI. Gen Z hates it. Studies needed. My hypothesis: the SVPs are all Gen X, and nothing says 'I'm still relevant' like demanding 6 months of work in 1 month from people who can't get the servers to stay up. Replace the SVPs with agents. Worst case, nothing changes. Best case, someone finally gives us direction
