There is a light at the end of the tunnel for all the minds burned out by AI slop.

I already saw someone getting fired for only producing AI text as part of their entire output, after being unable to explain what they “wrote” in multiple situations.

And recently my company enacted a mandate that text made for humans should not be AI generated.

Sooner or later every company will start realizing that this is just people too lazy to actually work and coasting on a paycheck, at the expense of every other worker.

Yup sooner or later the new heuristic will be quality of comms measured by how short a thing is rather than how long.

Much how like essay's have a word limit - and people think you should max it out.

We will go in the opposite direction - which I'll be glad about!

This makes me happy to hear that someone got fired for that, but I just cannot picture that happening at my organization. Perhaps standards are too low. What sort of thing did they get fired for? Was there some warning etc?

Product Manager using Jira AI to hallucinate tickets, epics, metrics and roadmap. Even the numbers were completely made up.

There were too many incidents of “this doesn’t look right” in the same week, so when their boss did a thorough check a couple days after, it was all fake, everything. Eventually they admitted and got canned.

		I don’t understand the level of incompetence that would lead someone to that state.

But they got fired for not being able to explain it, not for using it.

		It’s not as if he was advertising to the world that he wasn’t really working.
