Arbeitnehmer der Generation Z haben solche Angst, dass KI ihnen den Job wegnimmt, dass sie absichtlich die KI-Einführung ihres Unternehmens sabotieren

Don’t blame them. Who want to make themselves redundant?

This is being spammed all over the place. Who’s pushing it.

I don’t buy it for a moment – GenZ loves its AI all over social media.

Also, This is not a great way to keep your job. CEOs are already telling workers that not using AI is a good way to get fired. I don’t see it as a replacement, but a way to swap old-school work with AI-enabled workers. If you’re opting out of the latter, well ok.

Gen Z doesn’t have jobs. /s kinda

let me guess, this article cites approximately two moderately-retweeted, anecdotal, half-serious tweets about young people doing this, and claims it’s a generation-wide trend?

The majority of AI rollouts that I’ve seen have been „Please guys, find any problem that we can solve with AI. Anything, please. Just do something, the executives don’t have any ideas either but we need AI.“ and then they blame the workers when there’s not any useful use case.

Next up Anti-tamper from disgruntled employee now built into AI, all attempts are silently sent to HR for review. Catches swear words, stupid questions, repeat questions, hack attempts, and calculates wasted time which is docked from salary. – Your welcome.

How about millionaire tech bros mad that their ai tools are crap.

If writing shitty documentation is considered sabotaging AI, then I suppose I’m guilty too.  

Nah. AI is just underwhelming.

The AI rollout is so profoundly short sighted, any “sabotage” should be rewarded

They aren’t sabotaging anything! Do you have any idea how badly AI does any task put before it? It’s tripling the workload of everything it touches and making worker’s lives miserable! 

Throw them shoes in the gears!

Isn’t that the root of the word? Sabo being some kinda wooden shoe thrown in the factory works.

I’ll back a company that sabotages AI companies.

Ai doesn’t need sabotaging when it already does a mediocre job. I tried using ai for coding at my job like legit using it, it basically created a worthless script, full of paths that don’t exist, and it was a joke. If you don’t have the experience or know what you are looking for and take it at face value, you will be S.O.L. It took me longer to debug the script than it would have been to just do my job normally. I had to figure out weird logic that cause weird bugs and behavior. Then you also have to take security into account that ai doesn’t create an app that allows someone to breach your network with ease. It was a mess.

This is why companies that fired their workforce in favor of Ai such as Microsoft, Amazon and a few others are beginning to rehire the people they fired because Ai was an absolute mess for them.

Edit: last gripe, just look at the people who are trying to use Ai as their lawyers and are getting laughed out of court by the judge because of the fake case it’s creating. The anthropic ceo is a joke because he has a product to sell of course he is going to say Ai can replace white collar workers.

power to the people

I’m a genx tech manager but like to keep my hand in. I’d say I’m fairly AI aware. I’ve recently built a few projects using agentic tools and they are amazing – instead of being a Dev I’m essentially being a product owner, providing business cases and validating the outputs. Fantastic.

But here is the thing. I spent my entire month’s budget of requests in a single day, have no idea how my code base works (I have great docs but why read them?) and much of my time was spent asking and reasking the same question when the result wasn’t quite right. I got a good tool out of it but did I learn anything?

When (not if) request costs rocket those people they have built their position on AI will have to justify themselves all over again and the economics won’t make sense. We’ll have a spaghetti stack of inconsistent solutions with no common standards, technologists with no core understanding of how anything works and production issues coming out of every nook and cranny. AI budgets will rocket, leveling out way higher than the pre-ai numbers because the big players will have consolidated into a duopoly who can charge what they want.

With any luck I’ll be retried by then but there is storm coming and it isn’t the layoffs. It is what comes afterwards.

No its just competent people understanding it does not have a place.

Id expect any college graduate to understand how to articulate a fix with crucial details listed.

And they should be able to recall the experience with at least the general logic of the process to fix it.

I dont trust anyone who can’t. Or at the very least acknowledge where they fucked up and why.
