I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.
They send me documents they “put together” that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren’t doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.
I feel like I am living in a nightmare.
Disclaimer: I only started working at this company about three weeks ago, so this info may not be as accurate as I currently think it is.
I work in quality management and recently asked my boss what the current stance on AI is, since he mentioned quite early that he and his colleagues sometimes use ChatGPT and Copilot in conjunction to write up some text for process descriptions or info pages. They use it in research tasks, or, for example, to summarize large documents like government regulations, and they very often use it to rephrase texts when they can’t think of a good way to word something. From his explanation, the company consensus seems to be that everyone has access to Copilot via our computers and if someone has, for example, a Kagi or Gemini or whatever subscription, we are absolutely allowed and encouraged to utilize it to its full potential.
The only rules seem to be to not blindly trust the AI output ever and to not feed it company sensitive information (and/or our suppliers/customers)
