The CEO of Krafton used ChatGPT to push out the head of the studio developing Subnautica 2 against the advice of his own legal team and failed miserably.
Im convinced that the CEOs use it to write some emails or brainstorm ideas and suddenly they think it can do everything, so they fire everyone and then everything falls apart because it cant do what they think it can.
I work at a small company of <100 people, and fortunately the CEO is a human that treats his employees like other humans and recognizes that without us, there would be no company anymore. However, all of his emails sound like the most heavily sanitized corpo-marketing-speak. If you were to judge him by his emails alone, you would never guess that. As it turns out, he uses Copilot to draft emails. When I found that out, it made so much more sense.
On a certain level, I get it. I hate writing emails. But the AI slop emails make him seem like a corporate goon and they ultimately dehumanize him to new employees. I don’t know if he realizes how impersonal the AI makes him seem. He probably has become slop-blind from using it too much.
Sorry, only tangentially related. Just kind of ranting here.
If your CEO is genuinely a good person, he would want to know that his emails make him less personable. Maybe you could tell him why the emails do not reflect your in person impression of him, that he actually cares about the employees. The reaction would at least give you good insight into who how he thinks.
Unfortunately, a lot of CEOs have crazy schedules, so they are constantly looking for ways to optimize their time. I think this drive is big reason why they love AI so much, in general.
I wish we weren’t obsessed with optimizing profits no matter the cost in the US.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I sometimes use AI to help get a 2nd opinion on what I’ve written myself if its for my business, and there’s a lot of personalization and human touch in how I write things, especially when writing a blog post or an email to a customer I’m not entirely sure about.
The AI is good for finding areas that might be a little long, or maybe you say something twice and it isn’t needed, or you’ve made a really long run on sentence… but if you were to just take the AI’s suggestions at face value and use them, it completely de-perosnalizes it and makes it all trash.
I have to give it explicit instructions nowadays not to do that, and how I’m only looking for minor things to touch up.

I’ve been on Lemmy too long, because this is starting to sound like a double entendre.
