My boss tried to get everybody to use LLMbeciles for work. He was taken in by the fakery and set up a commercial OpenAI account.
I refused to use it. Ever. Like to the point that I never even collected my ID and password.
Others used it, but it was, as always, a time-waster where it looked like they were making gains at the start, only to get bogged down when important details entered the picture. So I quietly got my work done while others wrestled with AI. Then by the end of six weeks nobody was using it and my boss quietly shut down the account.
My boss is pretty decent. He gets dumb ideas (like we all do), but he recognizes when they fail and doesn’t try to force them for face-saving. It’s because of that that we survived the COVID-19 disasater and the pivot away from American clients (my initiative) without disappearing. He doesn’t appear to have the usual ego of a businessman.

Good for him! I’m wondering how many managers stick with AI due to sunk cost fallacy.
