I’m in an entirely different industry than the topic at hand here, but my boss is really keen on ChatGPT and whatnot. Every problem that comes up, he’s like “have you asked AI yet?”
We have very expensive machines, which are maintained (ideally) by people who literally go to school to learn how to. We had an issue with a machine the other day and the same ol’ question came up, “have you asked AI yet?” He took a photo of the alarm screen and fed it to ChatGPT. It spit out a huge reply and he forwarded it to me and told me to try it out.
Literally the first troubleshooting step ChatGPT gave was nonsense and did not apply to our specific machine and our specific set-up and our specific use-case.
That way, you don’t have to commit to AI and can distance a bit from the micromanagement. If he persists. “I have a number of avenues I’d like to go down and will update on progress tomorrow”.
Though I’d be tempted to flippant, “if you’re feeling confident to pick it up, I’m happy to review it”. If they hesitate, “that’s OK, I’ll go through the process.”
Standups should be quick. Any progress, any issues, what you’re focussing on. Otherwise you waste everyone’s time. Any messages I’ll ignore until I have 5 mins. Micromanagement environments are not worth it.
The only question I’ve asked chatgpt recently was how to delete my account, and it couldn’t even get that right. It told me to click on the profile button on the top right of the screen. The profile button was on the bottom left, and looked more like a prompt to upgrade to a paid version. Fucking useless.
