At our wor k they have a big push for everyone to use AI. I used AI to try to do things faster, it's terrible in it. The time you save with it in the beginning because it helps you rubberducking you and your peers lose at the end by finding out late that it bullshitted and contradicted itself and you copy and pasted it to be faster. I have so many examples of it.

They enabled some AI in Outlook for some of us as beta testers. You write a few words with the basic idea of the mail and it bullshits it into a full page full of nonsense with your initial words "summarized" in some bullet points most of the times

Then when you receive one of those emails it can summarize it into just a few words

We are truly living in the future!

That is what drives me crazy. Society had largely gotten over the 'write stupidly verbose crap for the sake of professionalism' and that's like the first thing they want to bring back. Send me the stuff you would have fed to the LLM, if I want LLM to expand on it, I'll ask it. I don't need to wade through a bunch of pointless padding words to figure out what your damn point was.
