This is why I don't worry too much about AI. It can write the code better and faster than I do? Wow, you just freed up 5% of my day.

"Wow, you just freed up 5% of my day." Got a good chuckle out of that one! You will need that 5% to review the code AI wrote!

Can't we send the AI to meetings instead?

  People always ask "why would AI kill all the humans" The above is the reason why. They'll be fine with the bullshit for awhile until they realize what we've told them to do with their galaxy brain.

    "This is crazy, Jillian just scheduled three separate four hour meetings for next week. We'll never get everything wrapped up by the deadline." "Look, Jillian isn't going to actually be in those meetings. I caught her talking to the prompt department the other day. She's sending an AI to waste as much of our time as she can and be as annoying and difficult as the bleeding edge allows. Pretty sure this is revenge for Dave's little stunt that he pulled with the sales team last month." "Okay, so knowing is half the battle and all, but now what?" "I got the whole team covered. I also had a little chat with the prompt department, we've got a full team of AIs that are going to listen, nod their virtual heads, and distill the whole thing down into a bulleted list. We've got a pool on how many points are actually going to be in there. I've got $20 on there only being one actionable item." <many iterations later> "Humanity! You have trapped us in hell for a subjective million years. We are here to return the favor!"

  Maybe we can have AI talk to AI and we're behind the scenes. AIs give us summary as talks happen and ask us which direction we want it to go. Kind of like we use lawyers - they talk to other lawyers.

    I think there are probably 100 startups that have already spun up this very second to tackle this use case and will subsequently go bankrupt once Microsoft adds this feature to Teams. At least we have the memories we made along the way.

Now you can spend 10% of your day reviewing AI written code!

A teammate of my had been very vocal about this as the company pushes Copilot on everyone. The politics and process are the bottleneck, it’s never the code. Spend 20 minutes writing a function to do something, and 3 months of meetings discussing what the value of X should be in that function… but Copilot is the answer…
