I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.
They send me documents they “put together” that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren’t doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.
I feel like I am living in a nightmare.
I work in social work; I would say about 60 percent of what I do is paperwork. My agency has told us not to use LLMs, as that would be a massive HIPPA nightmare. That being said, we use “secure” corporate emails. These use Microsoft 365 office suite, which are copilot enabled. These include TLDRs at the top, before you even look at the email, predictive texts… and not much else.
Would I love a bot who could spit out a Plan based on my notes or specifications? absolutely. Do I trust them not to make shit up. Absolutely not.
