I mean that's from the individual perspective. The alternative is to start telling everyone that OKRs are BS, and then have everyone on one level above you do the same to have it make any difference. You are asked to provide OKRs, everyone else are doing it and the only way not to do it is if you start your crusade or I guess just say "no" and see what happens?

First up, I never said they were BS in all, I just said they're not a great tool for all situations. Next, I'd say it depends. Sometimes an org is new to OKRs so gets pretty zealous about using it for everything. In this situation, assuming the org is trying to learn, the management needs to go through the pain and figure out what does/doesn't work. Sometimes there's enough braindead thinking in the org, in which case, there's not much to do but I'd argue sending ChatGPT nonsense is probably worse than telling everyone OKRs are BS. You're better off doing your best and hoping for the best. If you're caught engaging with management initiatives in bad faith then I don't see it ending well.
