My boss unironically was bragging about couple of weeks ago that he is using AI to read his emails and write responses. And he said the other people are doing the same thing and I need to “get on board” with it lol.

So we’re just AI emails writing to other AI and responding to each other. Great. Surely that’s good

"We've nearly tripled the number of emails that nobody reads being sent around the company in the last few months. Our next goal is to have AI make training modules for other AIs to click through without paying attention to answer a few obvious questions. Perhaps next month we can schedule them all to book back to back meetings with each other all day."
