My upper management was invited to a business partner company's board meeting, and I was asked to provide topics for them to push during the meeting, like, what strategic functionality would we want them to have for us to use etc.

I'm like, dear dimwits, we've been using their shit for 10 years now, we have what we need in terms of features. These new "AI assistant" crap they're pushing, it's useless and will NOT pay the cost, I've done the business case, fudge the numbers if you must and you'll still be hard-pressed to find savings there.

I asked them to make a fuss about how their support keeps getting worse and worse, as they keep firing people to the point that none of the competent people I got to know over the years works there anymore, it's only new joiners or incompetents left. I know their product better than their whole support team by now.

But sure, preach on to your shareholders about how you're doing miracles, while the company chews itself inside out until it gets so bad that it'll implode.

Sorry for the rant, this one hit close to home.
