Post #2084248

New job onboarding had lots of AI image crap and talk of how they have an AI and stuff. All sounded optional. Just did my targets/goals with my manager and have to "present internally at least four items a year made using AI". When I asked "but why? What if I don't want to" I was given a resigned "IDK it's just what they want us to do. You can use it as a springboard for ideas, give you some prompts for what to do." So, you want me to prompt an LLM, to prompt me ... Nor can you actually explain /why/ I *must* use it, what I should use it for specifically, and you pin my performance will be against it. How do you even fucking prove I used AI? Do *I* have to have used the AI to make it? Can I recycle one of the companies pre-existing AI images or someone else's slop? Never have all the "if AI is so good, why are companies having to mandate it's use" posts felt so true. I don't need to automate my stupidity thank you I'm Authentically Incompetent myself!
