Oh, I'm a master at this. It's called malicious complience.
Do all the work your boss wants. Use the AI that they want. And......thats it.
The key here is NOT to correct any error it gives.
You did what your boss said. Let your boss deal with what he said.
Then as all these problems come back, you WANT it to cause chaos. You WANT him to lose money.
"I did exactly what you told me to do. These are the results."
no. your boss does not want you to use AI as the holy grail. He ask you to utilize it for you to support you on your task. I know Im on thin ice here at this place. But AI is simply a tool. a specialized tool which results can very.
if you simply push a screw with a hammer because your boss told you to use a hammer. youre still the idiot. you are the expert. with domain know how. the boss thinks in a bigger picture and does not know the details. one has to sort those things out.
⭐ your boss is not your friend ⭐ – he’s having you train the AI to do your job so he can replace you
It is a tool like a double-clawed hammer with the claws pointing upward, not toward the hammer.
Ah yes, I too want my employer to think I‘m an idiot.
