Forced to use AI at work My work are pushing us to use AI as much as possible, so much so that they monitor our usage and pull people into meetings asking why they aren’t using enough Claude credits. They keep saying that we should use it for anything that could save us time, but they can’t see any of our prompts/chats. I do find AI useful, but managers don’t understand that it can also slow me down in the type of work I do. I’ve started copy pasting multiple choice questions from all the cybersecurity and other online courses they make me do seemingly endlessly. Literally takes me a minute to complete these now vs 15mins to 1hour depending on the questions. I copy them in separately and ask Claude to explain his answers in lots of detail, and oh boy does he rattle through credits (sorry environment)! A great time and mental energy saver, as well as keeping my AI zombie bosses at bay! Hope this post inspires others to never do a cybersecurity course ever again!
