> work which only exists because of AI
Could you elaborate? What work are you doing which only exists because of AI?
Its true, a part of me died when an "AI first" company after adoption of AI introduced a mandatory design report (waterfall all over again) for EACH jira ticket before starting to code
Imagine developers move faster because of AI programming! No lets create more slop for other slopmachines
For all my user facing work I’m now required to do an AI summary of what I did and the impact. That summary is then graded by AI, against an AI generated rubric. For my yearly review, I use AI to summarize my summaries, and my managers AI summarizes the AI generated grades.
I’m also required to explain how I use AI in my work. I must plan all of my future work, with an AI tool. Another AI assesses whether my work is aligning with planned work.
Before I work and after I work, there is a million circular references that exist solely because of AI. These have scaled because it’s so easy to do with AI, but the we’re wasting so much time doing a ton of extra things very efficiently.
Let me do my job. My manager should know how I’m doing. Maybe highlight key wins. CSATs/etc go out every year.
