Does anyone feel like they have to hide their disdain for AI? (lemmy.zip)

I’m in IT at an upper level and know painfully well what “AI” really is and that it’s not the disruptor people think it will be. However I feel like I can’t post it anywhere without being judged about it as almost every exec I know has bought into it hook, line and sinker. Even other people I talk to about the issues and limitations look at me like I’m completely weird “you’re in IT and you don’t embrace AI? wtf is wrong with you?”

So what do you all do? I don’t want to make things career limiting but I feel like I’m screaming in the dark seeing where things will really go. It reminds me a lot of the move to cloud and everyone going all in on it without knowing the real ramifications.

One of my former colleagues got promoted to "AI director". All he does now is fuck around with llm's, with nothing to show for it so far.

Realistically, this is where AI currently exceeds expectations, the ability to do amusing shit like, sucking up time, making amusing but useless pictures, videos, etc. I could easily amuse myself for a day creating random stuff but it doesn’t contribute to my job in a big way. We are “encouraged” to use AI so, I let it write my code comments and documentation…stuff that I’m not too concerned if it screws up and can blame AI if it does. Stuff that won’t break anything or take down a system. I’ve had an increase in things I’ve needed to fix when other devs merged their AI code which is a PITA.
