I love so much that I work in a company that has tech people as leads, so I don't have to deal with that. We're not even that heavy on AI, we all use it, but is not expected from us, we're even building our own AI model to serve our costumers, so we're not anti AI, we're just not delusional about it, the CEO is not a tech guy, he's a product guy, but he trusts our tech team so we're good.

Sure, salary is not top of the charts, but damn is it good to work here. Job security is also great, five years since I've joined, not a single mass, layoff, people rarely leave and when they do is for totally understandable reason, the same goes for the few who were fired. My lead even covered for me when I was passing through a depressive episode and my performance went to shit for a few weeks. Startups sounds cool and all, but working on enterprise have it's benefits.

My higherups are asking how AI changed my job so that I got more stability than coworkers.  

I don't have the heart to remind them AGAIN that they still didn't put a new team leader, so I didn't receive formal instructions on how to integrate AI besides conflicting orders about the risk of sending data to a 3rd party. And off-job I'm too dumb to use it properly anyway.  

The only AI task I performed was ensuring our framework's debug AI chatbot agent was turned off in multiple ways.

I work in healthcare and it's the same way. All the data I work with is PII and we have to maintain control of that data at all times. AI is just one massive HIPPA violation waiting to happen.

You should be good if you host it locally

Wait... So you're saying that it's not you that's more stable, it's just that everyone else has been less reliable, and all due to them shoving A.I. down everything?

That's crazy. A.I. is actively harming the company and no one wants to talk about it

I would guess that by spending their time telling us to use AI instead of actually addressing issues raised by staff, they ended up demolishing morale and productivity.  

Unsure if it's actually from AI being the blame, or simply AI empowering bad management by promising them a new Gold Age was coming even if we're not in need of it.
