Management at my company is prioritizing AI and genuinely believes adding random AI features into our products will add tremendous value. My pleas that we should maybe talk to customers to determine what they need has have not been heard.

I am having a lot of fun learning about generative AI. It is just a bit thankless because I know the stuff I am building will be dead on arrival. So, I will not get any praise regardless on how well I do my job, maybe even get blamed.

But hey, after all the junior devs have been starved because no one wants to hire them, I will make bank once the next AI winter comes and companies desperately look for people who can actually code.

If you have your own company you can just weather it out and invest in good talent. Really a good position to be in.
