Managers spending all day sending GPT generated emails to eachother trying to look busy.
Several of the more useless middle managers I deal with are suddenly writing these long emails that are almost certainly edited GPT generated crap. You can pretty easily generate questions or other things to bog people down with. It’s comical.
I could also see use cases to write better reviews. I've experimented with adding my 1:1 notes and coming up with a yearlong summary. The result was really great and neatly summarized a person's accomplishments.
One interesting strategy was to ask chat gpt to summarize a communication in a few ways like. I'm skeptical of this person's ideas, what other alternatives to this thought could be? Can you give me other perspectives? The results were interesting and helpful.
In such a case, manager's main task is just selecting people for one or other project randomly.
Consequently, they don't do anything sophisticated enough for being benefited by chatGPT. Maybe enjoy their free time.
The day that I can ask an AI to analyze my team's history of activity in git & jira and then suggest actionable changes that would improve productivity and observability for team members and for the team is the day that I can semi-retire and spend my afternoons at the beach.
i am developing a tool for your semi-retirement, its not there yet but if you are interested in trying it and giving me feedback, i can help you semi-retire sooner :-) . checkout the tool here https://gitimprove.com

Why do you think this hasn't been built yet?
I recently tried to take something I wrote and see if ChatGPT could improve it. I did not like anything it returned. It was a bit too wordy.

Did I get it right it creates charts for the types of issues your team has, the time spent on them and makes a decision to fire/hire more people? Is that all managers do? You don't even need AI for that.
Sorry to be blunt and I don't mean the tool is bad. I'm replying in the context in which it's being discussed (making managers unnecessary).
