I work with people like this. The least skilled, least experienced, least productive people on my team constantly recommend “AI” solutions that are just a waste of time.

I think that’s what people like about AI, it’s hope, maybe you won’t have to learn anything but still be productive. Sounds nice ?

My clients are like this lately.

Non techies that now are suggesting how I design solutions for them by asking ChatGPT. And they seem to treat me like the stupid one for refusing.

I was at a UX / Usability conference and it was basically the same. Everyone talked about AI here and AI there, but no one had an actual usecase or idea how to incorporate AI in a purposeful way. I can genuinely understand, why people feel that AI is a fad.
