In my experience, AI just makes bad managers more obvious... The best a bad (or worse, toxic [0]) manager can help for, is that AI will help them look like less of an idiot. The nominal I have seen however, is managers providing non actionable, non provable feedback. In these cases you'll see conflicting feedback (while not providing enough detail to understand if this is a real thing or an AI hallucination), such as 'You are not afraid to interject important points in meetings -> You need to not take people off topic on meetings', or for a team where every IC always meets deadlines agreed to every sprint planning, 'You are working too slow'. In the worst case, you've got the folks who enjoyed ChatGPT's especially sycophantic phase and wind up buying into all sorts of dumb shit because the computer told them it was a good idea... [0] - As an example of toxic, consider the sort of manager that uses near-circular logic like 'you need a doctors note for a sick day -> oh you were good enough to drive to the doctor then we need you in here' and then wonders why half the team gets sick over the next few days.
