  i wonder how much trouble you’d be in if you hung this at work

    Depends on how long it takes for a middle manager to get someone to read it to them (and then explain it).

      Usually they forward it to someone to explain, forward the reply to another underling to execute and copy/paste that one’s estimate or status update in the original mail’s relpy.

      Claude summarize this meme for me. Explain it like I’m 5.

    well it’s a bit dehumanizing so I guess a fair amount of trouble

  Corporate middle managers don’t use semicolons. They don’t even know when to use colons or apostrophes.

  They taught AI to talk like HR reps.

  Executives love AI because they can’t spell automation

  It makes sense now. Middle managers are the ones most impressed by AI. They think the AI is sentient because it is just like they are.

  Is it possible that the way humanity has been dealing the with useless 1/3 of the population was to put them in middle-management positions? Consultants and the like?

  • yermaw@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Absolutely it is. Thats where we got the phrase “kicking them upstairs” from. Promote the useless guy to a position where they can’t actually do any damage.

    If AI succeeds in replacing a lot of those “positions”, we’re going to face a tsunami of idiots.

  What happens when middle management realizes the only jobs AI can actually do is their jobs?

  source

  • Zink@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That seems like one of the more reasonable scenarios to expect “AI” to thrive, actually.

    You have dozens to thousands of people doing the actual work, then you have one CEO or owner that asks the AI to summarize what all the workers have been doing and communicating. It then presents them with a list of suggested decisions with some metrics tied to them like chance of success and Net Present Value (NPV).

    The AI wouldn’t even have to do a good job! It would just have to get things wrong or make up bullshit whole cloth as much as human middle managers, or maybe even less!

    I think this is a possiblity not because the AI will do a good job, but because the ONE thing that LLMs seem to be good at is mimicking what a random human might type, including humans who are often ignorant or wrong.

      Yup, it’ll screw up, but so do middle managers.

      Another use case is replace Hollywood movie execs with LLMs. Sure it will greenlight unoriginal movies, but it would be no real change over the current state of things.

  Remember when they fired the guy from Google because he claimed AI was sentient?

  That’s a sharp joke 😅 Sometimes sounding polished and confident gets mistaken for intelligence. Tone can be convincing, even when there’s not much depth behind it.

  Well that checks since to anyone who does not have any ideas on anything, every idea sounds great.

  I’m kind of a middle manager, and I get the hate. I like to think I’m different but I’m not entirely sure. At least my collaborators do appreciate me.
