I work at a company where the C-Level is absolutely in love with everything AI. In every town hall meeting they swagger about how great it is and how much more productive everybody will be. It is so ridiculously exaggerated, I swear the CEO would fuck chatGPT if he could...
They even got us all a ChatGPT-Pro Account. - To finance that they took away our annual 1000$ learning budget, which every employee could use for learning new skills and get better at the job (e.g. visit conventions, do paid courses, buy trainings and so on... )
They also explicitly threatened us to use it whenever possible. Those who do not want to use it, will be leaving the company sooner or later. The CEO is very clear about that. And yes... they even track the usage of AI tools. If you don't use them, sooner or later you have to explain yourself to your manager
Sooo... of course I am using AI. I am using AI EVERYWHERE:
- Every year we have to do online-trainings to be compliant. Those trainings are for example: "DEI Stuff, Anti-Corruption, Secure Coding, Fire-Hazzard stuff for the office building, GDPR, and what not... Those trainings consist of videos, a lot of text and a quiz to prove that you know everything. One course is about 1-2 hours long. So when your trainings are due, you're gonna spend at least 2 workdays with this shit again.
Well... not if you can use ChatGPT. I just skip all the text and videos and just copy paste the quiz in the prompt. "Median Time to take the course: 2 hours" ? Rofl, try 5 minutes. Hey, I'm more efficient, am I?!
- 2 times a year we have to write self reflection, reviews for our managers and even for our colleagues. Basically all the HR Bullshit that justifies their existence.
That process is just painstaking and tedious. So guess what? AI! Just give ChatGPT some key points and let it do the magic. That saves at least 2 hours every time that process is due.
- Attending hour long big online meetings where I don't need to say anything and just listen to a presentation? yeah, AI can summarize that for me. No need to actually be there.
I know they can probably tell that I am using AI for everything. But so far no one has complained and if they do, I will just forward the CEOs directive to use AI or get fired.
TLDR:
I use AI everywhere in the job, even where I am not supposed to.
