It’s fair to disagree. But “has never used these models” is an odd takeaway. I use them every day. The post wasn’t about replacing management with AI. It was about building systems around my own blind spots, which, as a neurodivergent person was something I was doing long before AI.

Long before AI it was notebooks, docs, recurring reminders, sticky notes… whatever worked. Now some of those systems use MCP. The tool changed. The philosophy didn’t.

I suppose that's what I'm getting at. Systems have existed long before LLMs. And they had varying levels of effectiveness. Maybe the point I didn't express well enough is both that LLMs aren't as effective as the article claims compared to these previous methods

While also destroying our environment, access to water, and access to electricity

And if, you were to claim that it is more effective than previous methods at preventing things going missing or lapses in management of your work or life, I would ask you to deeply audit your process. Our management has started to rely on LLMs to manage the release process, and we've never had more

You cannot possibly know that it is not rewording, overly paraphrasing, or straight up lying to you without directly validating the sources yourself. It does not copy and paste. It reads your documents, and does the best it can to regurgitate it and it has a faulty memory

At my job my direct manager has been using it to summarize teams conversations. And it mixes up products constantly. We nearly had a leak of a major feature for one customer, to their direct competitor (another customer of ours) because the LLM told him it was owned by the wrong customer

I was actually about to reply that it felt like you were describing a frustrating experience with your own management, and this kind of confirms it. If my manager delegated judgment to an LLM, I’d be upset too. That’s just not what I’m doing, and I’m sorry that’s been your experience.

Maybe redirecting your frustrations so aggressively towards a stranger isn't the most constructive way to process your feelings about your current job. Big time projections happening here. We could be sympathetic that your management doesn't serve you well, but instead you are doing this.
