My boss was fired yesterday, in part because every single document, email, meeting agenda, performance review, and PR he's written for a year has been pure AI slop.

His defense was always "everyone uses AI, including you" and I'm like yes i do use it for code but never communications, and my code is always 10x better than the untested slop I was constantly asked to review.

This is a guy with 30 years engineering experience, reduced to submitting untested and unreviewed slop code of a quality drastically worse than the least-experienced juniors in the company.

That phenomenon on a global scale is concerning to think about. That people are using these things outside of tech to get medical advice or as therapist replacements is even more concerning.

Interesting. What factors led your boss's boss to this decision? Does he not have AI psychosis? I thought the further up someone was in an organisation, the more AI they used.
