What does AI upskilling even mean? Isnt the premise of AI that you can do everything just with natural language, everybody already knows how to talk/write about what they want.
And if they mean AI adjacent things like RAG, then thats just software engineering with API calls wrapped with english prompts, and upskilling software engineering with AI kinda works but we’ve already seen a lot of vibe coded disasters.
I quit a job last year where they announced they were adding AI use to our performance reviews.
This AI up skill shit is BS. I don’t need a nanny telling me to use tools that I as the expert should determine the usefulness of.
At my new job I use AI probably the most in the company. I build MCP tools, I use it to automate things, I’ve deployed it for data cleaning tasks. I just took a 2 week manual review process and built a RAG search engine that reduces that work to an hour of effort.
I don’t need some C suite jackass pretending they know my job better than me.

Yes but also “you have to start using AI now or you’ll get left behind”. You expect grifters to be consistent?
It means Altman gets richer. That’s all.
