    LLMs can easily replace managers and execs over anybody else. Honestly, the first things LLMs replace are scammers. Most execs are scammers too.

    LLMs respond like a sycophant because that’s what CEOs expect. They expect to be surrounded by Yes Men and people who compliment them before they give feedback. That’s why before you get an answer for a question, some LLMs will sometimes say “that’s a great question.”

    You’ll notice the same thing in Trump’s cabinet. No one answers him directly, they provide him with a compliment before they give a response.

      You mean Trump’s Cabinet is actually working with LLMs ??

      On a serious note, do you know of any community on lemmy where we can express our rants against Trump ???

    I’d still rather have the useless fuckwit manager because at least they’re some form of human vs a dumbass chatbot.

      I have this exact situation. Vp runs literally 100% of his thoughts through a chatbot, which has conviced him that all his SMEs that actually do things are idiots. Hes slightly less of an idiot than the rest of his exectuve cohort, and has thus convinced all of them that we are idiots too.

      Not better at all. The chatbot will not consistently fight you when you tell it that its wrong. The chatbot will not relent after being overwhelmed with actual data, then resurface the idea again in 6 weeks, then relent again, then try again in 4 weeks, on and on. I have one project that has been beaten back 5 times now, including having staff quit, hiring new people, and having them agreed it could not be done, and i know its still not over.

      You do not want any form of this.

          Zero idea what any of that means…

          My point was “managers” aren’t “the top” they’re literally one level above the bottom

          And anything they’re tell the bottom ring to do, is because that’s what they were told to say.

          I seem to have overestimated people’s work experience or critical thinking tho, loads of people seem to think of front line managers as “the boss”.

    My manager recently said their new AI tool does pretty much his whole job for him. I miss my last manager. Pretty sure it gets worse up the chain.
