The employee paused. “‘I literally think [my boss’] AI is talking to my AI. That is the actual conversation happening right now,’” the employee told Leena Rinne, vice president of leadership, business, and coaching at Skillsoft, an edtech and skills management platform. She told Rinne, “‘I can’t crack the code of working with [my boss], because it’s just his AI and my AI going back and forth.’”
Rinne calls this phenomenon “socially offloading,” or when interpersonal skills that require human judgement, empathy, or courage gets outsourced to AI. It’s similar to “cognitive offloading,” or shifting often menial tasks to technology like AI to reduce mental effort, and has the potential to disrupt workplace culture.

It was very disheartening at work – a coworker used copilot to create content for a scope of work for an external trainer. They just copy pasted it into a word document, copilot formatting and all. It was nowhere near what we needed, so I had to waste time reviewing their AI output and provide them feedback on it as if they wrote it.
So many people are using AI to be their brain instead of using it as a tool to review their work. I really dislike people like that, theyll become brain-dead.

It’s very hard to take somebody seriously after you’ve realized they’ve been using AI to write all of their tickets and PRD’s. I had not thought about them using ai to explain why it seemed so rushed. Now I’m horrified

In a book I read, science fiction, people had artificial stupids. In this future, there was full on AI, with sentience and vrying degrees of rights, but everyone had an „artificial stupid“ that was a digital assistant programmed with all your likes, dislikes, schedules, preferences, etc, so when you tell someone you want to do a lunch meeting, you would have your stupids message each other, and they would figure out the best time and location based on both your preferences and schedule and setup the appointment. Used for business, dating, working out your personal schedule, finding a new gym etc etc
Always seemed like a good idea.

I know some people will think I’m being facetious but I had a problem passed my way at work. It was escalating, both the users on either side of the issue were blaming each other, it was going to management, etc.
I got on a call and they told me what the problem was. I asked if they could share the code (it was a code related issue). They shared it. I looked at it for *less than 5 minutes.* I changed *one line.* It fixed the problem. I couldn’t help but ask, did anyone actually, you know, look at this code?
Of course we did. We used Claude several times!!!
TWO DAYS!! they had that problem for TWO DAYS!! They spent the entire time looping around it with claude!!
