How do you deal with AI Output of your boss?

6•okr•2h ago
So, my boss goes on a rampage. You can clearly see the joy and at the same time the rage and impatience. AI is the tool he always wanted. We are too slow. Process is out of the window. No need for sprints anymore. No planning, just doing. All people downstream must somehow adapt.

Whenever i see now his automated messages in slack, my natural reaction is: why do i even bother reading that? Thats for machines to read. He does not need me? Clearly i am not made for that. What is he expecting me to do? To confirm how great the AI did the job? Should i remember all these perfect presentations AI has created and integrate it into my doings into the coming weeks?

I am torn. Should i really free my AI and deal with all this incoming text? Is this the way to react on this perfection?

I am not mad at him, it clearly frees him of all the burder of dealing with people.

I just dont know how to deal with this output personally. It is not for humans.

I feel left alone. This is not a company anymore. Everyone is talking to AI now. This feels like chaos. Where everyone can do everything and stepping into each other's domain and it is perfect. The only way AI is stopped at are the ACLs.

And because AI does everything for me, i don't remember things anymore, as i have no emotion connected with it. Feels like bad schooling and memoizing and get through it and you can't as it so dry and lifeless.

So, how people deal with it in a company context? How have they setup their machines to react and still be up to date without reading the constant stream of changes coming from others?

First rule is - if you don't write it, don't expect me to read it. If you AI-write something, then let me get an AI to read it too.

The only solution I can think of is to get AI implemented upstream in the planning phases so that it results in specs for spec-driven development. Your boss will be able to directly contribute without bothering anyone, but he will also think developers are obsolete. You need to warn him about the dangers of vibe-coded shit, but either way there's no positive scenario these days.

I feed it back to AI to respond with em-dashes, en-dashes and clearly Claude-like writing.

Just ignore it and they'll get bored and move on to the next thing

Have you talked to him about it?

And what do your colleagues feel?

you should take the information the same way whether it was produced by him manually or with the help of AI. If you won't someone else who needs a job more will.

I don't have any advice, but I sure do feel bad for you!
