    Lmao… This is so true

    The other day I got a panicked call saying we needed to rewrite a whole project because what we were doing was unsupported before I created it…I was getting worried before I read the chat logs and my AI bullshit detector went off

    Luckily the AI was indeed entirely full of shit, all we actually needed was a change so simple I did it on the spot. My team lead had to call the customer back and explain how AI hallucinated a problem because the topic was to niche

    If that’s not terrible PM energy, I don’t know what is

      Wait, so your PM freaked out because his AI chatbot told him something was wrong with your code? And then he had to log it back? Am I getting this right?

        Well we don’t really have a PM, the team lead and the customer got all worked up because chat gpt told them the small change they needed would require a full rework of the code

        But the AI was talking out of it’s ass, just like a PM that partially understands what we’re doing here, causing the customer (and me) to panic for no reason. Classic PM behavior IMO

        And I fixed it easily enough, but the lead then had to explain to the customer that they panicked all morning for nothing
