And, by excited, people using AI or AI powered tools for work, specifically. Recently, our CFO had an ‘all-hands’ meeting where he told us he had used a new AI tool to quickly create some dashboards and such using company data and he was really excited about what ‘we’ could do with it. So, he mandated we come up with ideas and opportunities to report back to him in a few weeks. Essentially – mandating we start incorporating AI into our work. I’m kind of an AI skeptic – not that I don’t think it has uses – but that many of its use-cases are oversold and half-baked and, much of the time, it doesn’t save a much time past doing it manually because a human has to check all the work for accuracy. But, I was kind of taken back by how many of my colleagues seemed genuinely enthusiastic about getting to work and starting to use the new toy. Like, am I wrong in seeing there are two possibilities here? One, AI is expensive and capabilites oversold/overblown to the point where we are just wasting a bunch of time and money trying to use it for stuff it will never be very good at. Or, two, we are starting on the path to automating a lot of our jobs – a path where the CFO, given access to enough data, can just create his own power points, dash boards and analyses anytime he wants, just the way he wants it and with ease. Where does that leave us? How do we fit in that picture? I’m at a point when I go to work where I feel like I’m either wasting my time creating half-baked/barely useful reports with AI or just waiting to be told I’m no longer needed. And, my coworkers are excited about this. submitted by /u/MathW
