Leadership are mostly idiots. They don't know how work gets done. They think like "wow it produced so many lines of code!" and don't know that's not a useful metric.
My job had Microsoft do a four hour copilot demo for the entire team last week. (Surely an immense expense. They won't pay for most people to be full time with benefits). The guy used copilot to make a regex to parse html. A little surprised zalgo didn't show up.
CEOs them to make power points using the already pre built company presentation template then talk about how they couldn't have made it without AI like that's supposed to show how useful AI is and not how incompetent they are
