   It doesn't help that this is being forced from above. I agree you can't turn off your brain, but any time I argue that AI isn't the right tool for something management gets angry. There is a constant push to fully automate things, regardless of what those things are.

   Even if I agree that you have to use your brain, when my boss is literally telling me to stop questioning whether AI automation is the right answer in team meetings/chats I'm just going to shut up and give them what they want.

      Absolutely.

      This is definitely a scenario in which management has bought into the hype and the people working with the tool are aware of its limitations.

      Like markets, the firm can remain irrational longer than you can push against it.

      Beyond a certain degree of effort on your part, it is not within your capacity to right the whole ship.

      I suspect that the people who are most likely to be allies are the CFO and budgeting teams in the firm. I’d be curious what that function is thinking of the situation.
