BOSSES : 

''' LOVE CHATGPT LORE '''

A TRAGIC FACT ABOUT BOSSES is that many of them have never built up a natural immune defense to '' stupid ideas.'' Because of this, a boss opening LinkedIn can be like a young child attending day care for the first time.

EVER SINCE my 40-year-old boss discovered ChatGPT he's running everything through it, even asking it to write drafts and analyze documents. I'm going on 60 and have spent my entire work life relying on my brain and bona fide resources to do my work.

Now, I'll write up a draft of something, and I'll hear, '' OK, just run that through ChatGPT.'' Or '' Can you ask ChatGPT if XYZ ?'' I've explained that ChatGPT is NOT always correct, and have literally pointed to specific examples.

Also, I'll give him a draft of something that I wrote, and He'll revise it, via ChatGPT, and ask me to review an often completely inappropriate, lengthy off-point rendition. Help! Anonymous.

An insufficiently immunized supervisor can send an entire business into a tailspin by merely glancing at a post consisting of single-sentence paragraphs.

That is, at least, what I suspect is happening here : He's been so taken in by breathless columns, podcasts, and posts about the artificial intelligence revolution that he's unable to distinguish between uses of A.I. that actually make sense for his business and counter productive ones. Now you're obligated to play along.

If you're lucky, this will pass as he begins to understand what A.I. is good for and what it's not. I'm not saying you should set your boss up for failure, but you might allow him to send out a few badly A.I.-rewritten emails, or attend a meeting with some hallucinated facts prepared, and see what the result is. Embarrassment is a pretty good teacher.

But if that doesn't work, and A.I. is in your workplace to stay, you may have to become an A.I. enthusiast yourself - after a fashion.

From your description it sounds like your boss is more concerned with making sure you use A.I. at all than he is in the specifics of how you use it - which means that you are free to find the prompts and tools that make sense for the work you do.

If he asks you to "run a draft through ChatGPT," you don’t need to tell him that your prompt was "proofread this and don’t otherwise change it," or "simply reproduce this exact text so I can tell my doltish boss that I ran the draft through ChatGPT without lying."

But my real recommendation here is to turn to A.I. as an ally, not an enemy. Your boss clearly won't listen to you, or to reason, or to experience. But there is one voice that does command his respect.

Have you ever tried feeding your boss' inappropriate, off point, A.I. authored revisions of your draft back into ChatGPT, or, better yet, a competitor model like Claude, and asking it to review the text based on your specifications for length and topic?

Sophisticated models - especially at the better, paid tiers - may not ever have the depth of experience that you do, but they're good enough to tell when a draft is missing the mark, so long as you explain what the mark is.

It might feel vaguely insulting to have your boss rework your good drafts into unconvincing and meandering ChatGPT prose. 

But imagine the satisfaction of being able to return to him and say : Boss, the A.I. says this sucks.

! My boss loves ChatGPT. Do I also have to? !
