    My cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it “more human” and “not mistakes” and so they couldn’t detect it easily

    He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their “meaningless” jobs so they think it can do anyone’s job, but he doesn’t see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced

      Managers being completely out of touch and also not realizing how useless they are is an ancient tale, no offense to your kin but even before AI you could generally assume stupidity when meeting an MBA, at minimum you can assume lack of curiosity or anything interesting to say.

        There are literally all of about 10 schools from which an MBA is worth anything. Often people with MBAs from non T10 schools are recommended to take their MBA off of their resume when they inevitably struggle to find a job. A sub T10 MBA on a resume just says “I will ask for more money courtesy of my useless credential”
