Yeah, the other people factor is a pretty good point. Some people in the organization seem to think that they have no liability for their output anymore, so long as AI produced it for them. They will pass on bloated shit, unreviewed shit, laundry lists of glittering generalities, elaborate plans based on fundamental misunderstandings about a tool, … half of the problem never gets noticed because people see a wall of fancy text that they don’t understand, so they think it’s good. Stakeholders aren’t reading that shit, certainly not comprehending it. I know as much, because it’s a steaming pile of horseshit. Nobody is over here actually grading the horseshit. Nobody is having hard discussions about what’s acceptable and what isn’t.
I put a considerable amount of effort into making an LLM do exactly what I want… I use it daily, have for years, and I’m still pretty terrible at it. Just imagine what some people are producing, who actually trust these models… not to mention when they use the fucking model to step into my lane. I will call your shit out in a group conversation if you do that. Don’t fucking do that. If it’s my lane, don’t pollute it with that AI bullshit. Now I have to explain to everyone why that shit doesn’t work. Do a better job.
