Am a boss. No we aren't.

I use it to interrogate our wikis and SharePoint, sprint data. It keeps me from having to ask my employees dumb questions.

I use it to dig up info on stuff I don't know about so I can make informed decisions or reduce the length of meeting because I can come prepared.

People love to talk about slop like it is something new and can only be made by ai. Spoiler, people (such as the author of this dumb piece) have been making it for a long time.

    Unlike Wikipedia, the references supplied by LLM output often point to material that doesn't actually support the LLM output. This can be because the LLM misapplies it to the wrong context or because it's incorrectly correlated and has nothing to do with what the LLM output making it unhelpful for determining the accuracy of the output.
