Scam artists, tech bros, grifters, CEOs who don't know shit about fuck....
At work, the boss recently asked everyone to disclose any voluntary use of AI. This is a very small company (startup) and was for a compliance thing. Nearly all of the engineering team was using some AI from somewhere for a large variety of things. These are top engineers mostly. We don't have manager, just the CTO. So noone was even encouraging it. They all chose it because it could make them more productive. Not the 3x or 10x BS you hear from the CEO shills. But more productive.
AI has a lot of problems, but all of the tools we have to use suck in a variety of ways. So that is nothing new.
