Abuse of AI

Abuse of AI

Does anyone else get offended with the abuse of AI in the workforce? Case in point, I am in HR and asked a manager to review a job description to make sure it is up to date on responsibilities. They turned around and had AI generate the whole thing. That completely defeated the purpose and it upset me because it felt disrespectful in the way it was handled. I could have done that, but instead wanted their expertise, not chatgpt's.

    Unfortunately, the job descriptions written by AI are always very generic and lack pertinent details. As a resume writer, I can't begin to tell you how often I am seeing AI-written job descriptions on people's resumes. Frankly, they all sound the same and very robotic. You are right to be upset with that manager for handing you an AI-written job description instead of his/her own authentically-written version.

    I see this every day. My CEO is running around using chatgpt like he just discovered how to create fire by rubbing two sticks. I have to constantly caution him that while it's a good source for research, it is never a definitive source urce. It can never be relied upon 100% at this point. Thankfully, for all of us, a few of the chat answers have been so heinously incorrect that it made us all laugh. So we take it with a grain of salt. We now work with a bit of caution, still rely upon experts with multiple years and deep knowledge of subjects to vett any Chat based replies.

    Our CTO is very pro-AI but he always says "Remember that AI is the co-pilot and the human is the pilot." So it's just a tool like anything else but needs human involvement to be most effective and caution is the right approach.

    I think a big part of it is leadership's push to incorporate AI into everything. My company is 1000% on board with the everyone adopting AI to the point they included it in our performance goals. Not clearly defined goals just a vague 'incorporate AI into your everyday workflows' kind of thing.

    My problem with it is that I don't have the bandwidth to really learn how to use it to apply it in a meaningful manner. Spend 3 hours trying to figure out how to do something with AI only to wind up with crappy results when the reality is I could have done it the old way with pivot tables and been done in 20 minutes. Plus the added fear that the more I 'AI' my job, the better chance I have of losing my job.

    The fears of AI completely replacing people are real but somewhat overblown by the media/industry hype. However, you will be replaced if you won't keep up with the changing ways that we all work. I'm not trying to be mean, but I've seen it happen many times - people refuse to let go of the "old way" (and not just about AI) and they are the first to be laid off when there are cuts because they are left behind. I recommend taking advantage of all opportunities to increase skills because the way we work is changing very quickly and not going back. If you are more efficient doing something in 20 minutes "the old way" then that's what you should keep doing to add value, but be open to the possibility that there may be other ways that could take 2 minutes instead.

    We as employees are constantly being pushed to incorporate AI and I wouldn't call the use of it "abuse" in all cases. I used it to create a new job description when I promoted an employee - it was a new supervisor role that didn't exist in my team yet and I asked AI to take the existing job description and write it to describe someone who would manage that role. I of course reviewed it and edited where I needed to, but it saved me a lot of time. AI is just a tool and is not all bad or all good, it all depends on how you use it.

    It is true that AI is being used to improve productivity. It is always a good idea to have a human-in-the-loop to verify accuracy and customize it to the specific needs. Many people use AI for first-drafts.
