My company is forcing that everybody use AI by having weekly reviews. They expect throughput of 2-4x hahahahaha

    My company recently had a workshop on how to fit AI into extant workflows. We split into groups, got assigned a workflow (in my case completely unrelated to anyone in my group's actual subject area) and then had to figure out where AI could enhance the workflow.

    It went about as well as you'd expect. Someone asked an LLM for input, and the input that came along was about as irrelevant as the rest of our ideas were.

    Took two hours in total and we were about 30 people, so say 60 billable hours spent on nothing. That's a 1½ work weeks for a single person. Brilliant use of everyone's time.

    One of the new engineers tried to get AI to draw him a technical drawing of a part so he could pass it down to the machinists to make.

    It took him about 4 times longer just cleaning it up and trying to make it make sense than it took the other new engineers to just draw the parts in inventor.

    Then when we got the print we had to go back to him about 4 times to get clarification on the bizarre details that he'd included.
