An AI that book meetings that no one wants to go to? Middle managers will be out of work soon.
They're clearly not doing their jobs if AI "solutions" go straight to prod without any consideration for the results it'll yield. One would think that since it's still code at its heart that it would still follow a well implemented CI/CD pipeline, but I guess because it's AI that it just can't wait. Someone else might do it first and all that.
You're responding to a dumb joke, but anyway: A solution can run perfectly in a test environment and still be shit. It's not really the development process that failed in this case (or even the somewhat misguided use of "AI"). The failure is fully owned by whoever thought that random strangers would like to hook up via unprompted meeting invites.
This AI generated meeting could have been an AI generated email
Having something suggest networking opportunities doesn't sound like the worst, but only if it was suggestions in their own section of the app (and not bombarding you with notifications about it either). This implementation is truly god awful and I can't believe anyone thought this was a good idea.
AI continues to be a solution in search for a problem
uhhh....i already posted a direct link to an article about this 3 hours ago?
