   Scribble this in suitable places:

   The emperor has no clothes and your manager who says you're going to be left behind by the competition if you don't use AI is a dumbass who thinks there's something wrong with his eyes.

     Paraphrase however but the messaging is tuned for multiple purposes.

     Not only is it mocking "AI" and normalizing folks' natural revulsion to it.

     It's also mocking the incompetence of the management class and casting them as the enemy.

     40 years ago nobody got fired for buying IBM. 20 years ago nobody got fired for buying Microsoft. 15 years ago nobody got fired for investing in mortgage-backed securities. 5 years ago nobody got fired for investing in crypto.

     Executives don't need to be smart, hardworking, or competent. They just have to follow the crowd, and Wall Street will make them rich.
