@baldur The most consistently highly rated manager at my company was pro-remote work before it was cool and concerned about psychological safety before the rest of the company had heard the term.
No else ever took his example. They were never interested in why his team loved him or in replicating his success at keeping team members long term.
@killyourfm I very much feel that. I don't know what's happening for you, but a week ago I had to put my dog of 12 years down and I have been telling myself ever since that it was right because he was in pain.
@silverwizard I am increasingly convinced this is true in several ways. He's not *my* manager, though, so it's my problem only in so far as I need his team to produce solutions.
A manager in a meeting today told us that he had "asked ChatGPT and this is what it said" and then pasted its responses about the character encoding standard used in ID3 tags.
Ultimately that's because it's not a knowledgebase. It's not referencing facts, it's referencing sentence structures. The way they've built ChatGPT is very much to convince you that it's 1) a mind and 2) a knowledgebase. Cause that people will pay for.
You ask it questions (requests for information). It pauses and produces results that look like a person typing (mimic something with a mind).
But it's just filling in statistically likely words next to each other.
It's pretty great at producing form letters because those all DO have a set structure and are likely to contain the same words in very similar orders.
You can generate a "statement from the CEO" that's totally usable cause all statements from CEOs are the same vacuous buzz words and contain no information.
