“tell my obnoxious boss to fuck off about the tps reports” isn’t a great career move for them though
3 comments

I would rather my reports tell me to fuck off than to generate something telling me to fuck off in polite but insincere terms full of emojis and em dashes. Honesty is valuable.
I'm the opposite. If you're going to say something mean or obnoxious, then I would rather you say it politely with a lot of emojis.
I too would much rather that, because then I get to know them as unhelpful whining complainers and fire them. That's not a great outcome for that person though.
Lol you can't fire people for using AI when the corporate mandate lately is to use AI.
I think it has extra value in that it will be more unnerving to them than using profanities.
Generating AI responses to all your emails isn’t a great career move either, though
My former CTO was doing that all the time.
It isn’t a great career move regardless, because if you use on prom AI they most likely monitor your prompts.
You don't use the work AI for that :D
