we must start using AI tools in our workflow and is tracking our usage

Reads to me as "Please help us justify the very expensive license we just purchased and all the talented engineers we just laid off."

I know the pain. Leadership's desperation is so thick you can smell it. They got FOMO'd, now they're humiliated, so they start lashing out.

It's true, the tech will get better in the future, we just need to believe and trust the plan.

Same thing with crypto and NFT's. They were 99% scam by volume, but who wouldn't love moving their life savings into a digital ecosystem controlled by a handful of rich gambling addicts with no consumer protections? Imagine, you'll never need to handle dirty paper money ever again, we'll just put it all in a digital wallet somewhere controlled by someone else coughmastercardcough.

And another thing, we were too harsh on the Metaverse. Sure, spending 8 hours in VR could make you vomit, and the avatars made ET for the Atari look like Uncharted 4, but it was just in its infancy!

I too want to outsource all my critical thinking to a chatbot controlled by an wealthy insular narcissist who throws Nazi salutes. The technology just needs time to mature. Who knows, maybe it can automate the exile of birthright citizens for us too!

I saw an LLM override the casting operator in C#. An evangelist would say "genius! what a novel solution!" I said "nobody at this company is going to know what this code is doing 6 months from now."

It didn't even solve our problem.
