> If you want to see if the tools work, why don't you just ask your employees? Like any normal employer would? because that would require actually admitting that employees are the people in an organisation who are responsible for the success of that organisation, rather than the people higher up the org chart.

  Do you actually have a job? Do you talk to your coworkers? This is an insane take. Plenty of people are critical of AI at my job despite a big push to use it. I find the comparison to NK distasteful, coming from someone who presumably is pretty well paid and can quit their job whenever they want. If you're feeling humiliated... well, I don't think it's because your boss wants you to try AI.

    I had seen exact same dynamic as he describes. So yeah, he is speaking to people and coworkers. That is how he knows.

      Having been the guy to speak the uncomfortable truths at such meetings, I can tell you that does not end well for anyone. Expect to look for another job shortly afterwards.

    Narcissists, non-violent sociopaths, and control freaks end up in managerial positions (often more likely than the general population). The pointy haired boss in Dilbert is a popular representation for a reason. We've all been subject to degrading and/or stupid management trends (see also: https://ibb.co/Kx46rqkg https://ibb.co/Kx46rqkg ), and while in the tech industry we had a golden age were the engineer was king, that's been chipped away even before AI became mainstream. Also, hyperbole is a thing. :-)
