I like how every company is pushing to replace programmers with AI yet it can't even do the job of a receptionist.
The only thing I love more than Vibes Coding is Vibes Management.
You get a meeting! You get a meeting! Everyone! Gets! A! Meeting!!!
Vibes Management
So just management.
Techbros love nothing more than reinventing things that exist. In this case, middle management/project managers
Honestly probably about half the middle manager/project managers I've had to deal with could be replaced by AI. That's not to say AI is good, they just really sucked at their job.
It looks like you're organizing a meeting, would you like with that?
Yes / No
I think you a word there
It is a good joke but you missed the chance to call back to one of the better gags from Space Quest 3 by writing "Yes / Yes"
I started getting emails about meetings I'm invited to but never show up to, which was kinda helpful. Except it was just the first few bullet points, you had to click for the full meeting notes
So one day I did, and it somehow grabbed my info from Microsoft, created an account, and invited itself to the meeting. All without showing me the summary, because I didn't really want to set up an account
Now there's two agents listening to the weekly meeting.
agent Smith and agent Smith
This is not "ai", this is "random dice roll"
There's a difference?
this is why I have literal garbage email addresses for companies to have. do whatever, I'm not reading anything you send me, and I assume everything a company does is a lie. schedule me for whatever...I won't go.
Unfortunately this was added to the gamescom b2b meeting platform, used by actual game developers and publishers to organise actual meetings with each other at the event. It’s not a throwaway marketing email to be sent straight to junk; it affected everyone using the system for genuine business purposes.
