I work for a tiny company that no one has ever heard of. Our main product is CRUD app that is designed like something straight out of 2010, complete with outdated frameworks. Recently the CEO has gone batsh*t with the concept of AI, essentially equated it as this magic genie that will fix all of our problems. Of course the managers joined in on the hype train just to be yes men. In just a few months here are just some of the things I have witnessed: - CEO openly says AI will cause the loss of “millions of jobs” - CTO says he wants live examples of ChatGPT “making us code faster” - had the bright idea that ChatGPT can write our JIRA tickets and acceptance criteria somehow. Employees spent all last week fixing its gibberish - got the OK to feed entire repos and proprietary information into ChatGPT without a care because “we got the pro version” - HR docs are now being generated by ChatGPT with no checks for legality This entire process has been one huge failed experiment and mess we have had to clean up. However, the idiotic yes men keep pushing it because they want to please the CEO and tell him what he wants to hear. They really think AI is this magic thing that will fix over a decade of no documentation, spaghetti code, and unclear requirements. If no name turd places are acting like this now, I don’t want to think about the future. TC: 120k (medium COL) #misc #ai #chatgpt #yesmen #ceo #hype
Sounds like my company
Sounds like every other company ..
Tell it to make a plan for bankruptcy
Sounds like my company as well
Jump ship. Horrible work culture. Low TC (even for MCOL unless you are recent grads or non-engr). LC hard and switch. Trust me you won’t miss it. This type of companies is a dime a dozen
Run
RUN!!!!!!🏃🏿♂️💨💨💨💨💨
Ask your ceo if AI is so great right now, why hasn’t AI already created the richest company on its own. When he says “because it’s not there yet” then you say “so how are we suppose to be there” smh
Ai will replace easy jobs like swe etc but not important and complex jobs like CEO, managers etc. - ceo of the crud company
This! ^
Fyi, we were designed like a CRUD app from the 90s, but everything else you said is spot on.
People who absolutely don't understand AI : 1. Wall street idiots. 2. Most of Middle and upper management. 3. Elon musk.
Two truths and a lie
All are truths, Elon fan boy.
Create a doc how AI can replace the CTO. chatCTO

Get ready to jump ship. It might be too late when the ship starts sinking and they won't be able to save the company.
