Me, a sysadmin. Spend 6 months making a finely tuned alerting system that tells us when anything critical to our company's operations goes down.
Corpo. Asks ChatGPT what our alerting policies should be and directly dumps it to us as directives to follow.
Me. Of course! Let me just turn it back to the way it was! Queue turning on absolutely every alert in the system as instructed. We had > 175 completely useless alerts within 8 hours.
Corpo. (Surprisingly) decided it wasn't actually good to spam there employees at all hours of the night for unimportant servers that don't make us money. And rolled back the policy the next day.
