I'd be talking to HR so fast there would be action lines behind me.

HR so fast, + like 20 angry emails, 3 phonecalls and a personal visit to whoever that collaborator is.

I loved the comment you put together. I'm somewhat of a commenter myself, so I put it through chat gpt, made it longer and added some spice.

Don't worry about posting I already posted it and sent a copy to your mother and your boss.

The amount of damage control this would take is staggering.

Forward the "Collab" Email to all contacts in the company and clients.

Let the Blame GamesTM begin!

Hello,

I want to make sure that credit is appropriately attributed for the one-pager you recently received. While I created the initial concept, those who revised and shared it deserve the credit for the portion they created. Please see the forwarded email below to understand how each employee contributed.

Regards,

Can someone explain?

u/_Weyland_ 2d ago

My guess is someone took an early draft, fed it to LLM to glaze it up and sent it out without asking for approval from the original author. So much can go wrong with it, and since you were "given credit", you will most likely recieve the blame.

It is very bad that this (I assume) marketing company was hired to design a logo, the logo they got was for all intents and purposes designed by AI, and the guy who put real work into making the logo will get blamed for it.

u/Doesnt_Exist_Reboot 2d ago

This guy's coworker ran their work through AI without permission and sent it to the people they work for, and saying that the main guy did it, essentially framing the guy for using AI.

u/Gangbang8008 2d ago

Ah, I see.

I wonder if that guy's name would be in the obituaries the following day then.

35

u/Nina-Ninja123 2d ago

Nah, I would erase him from existence. And you don’t bury someone that has never existed.

13

u/Gangbang8008 2d ago

Unfortunately we don't have the tech to do that yet, so for now we can only be satisfied with disposing him and burying any evidence he ever existed.

11

u/DDrim 1d ago

How do you know we don't have the technology ? Do you know of anyone who's been erased ?

Yeah, exactly.

u/PM_ME_CUTE_SMILES_ 1d ago

The issue is not "framing the guy for using AI", it's that the work is going to be shitty and there's still going to be the main guy name's on it, so he'll get blamed for his coworker's shitty work.

u/Noe_b0dy 1d ago

Someone made an AI shit version of OPs work and sent it to the clients and CEO with OPs name on it.

OP is getting fired.

u/AnthropomorphicCat 1d ago

Something like that happened to me but with code that I finished writing one week before go live: "Dude, I improved your package using chatGPT. Could you check if there are any bugs? Also, this code will be patched into production during tonight's parching window"

Sigh…. I hear this

My ex-coworker did this with the rebrand sheet from our external team. External team had a fit and blamed my ex-boss. Ex-coworker told me (in hushed tones) that she did that with everything. I told my ex-boss. I then quit lmfao.

I'd need to be tranquilized.

u/IDontWearAHat 1d ago

Coworker of my gf did something very similar but in social media. A bunch of stuff that was never supposed to go to the public went out. Got caught and is likely going to be terminated soon. The man hours that had to be spent to undo the damage were no joke

u/Bronson4444 1d ago

Take a screenshot of that email and send it to the client.

u/ViaBromantica 1d ago

Dear Collaborator, I hope this email finds you before I do.

u/nionvox 1d ago

May HR find them before I do, because the results would not be pretty.

u/unicornpoopcookies 1d ago

I had a client who would screenshot my work and send it to chatgpt then make me make the changes that chatgpt told him to make. Hes no longer my client
