Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

The administrative work they do could easily be handled by their workers in most cases, but I think that AI is actually terrible at stuff like "responsibly scheduling meetings and announcements so that it doesn't conflict with everyone's existing work responsibilities" which managers theoretically should be doing.
I have never once had a manager that didn't try to offload their "job" onto me.
"Oh we're going to need you to ensure coverage while you're off" motherfucker that's literally YOUR "job"
you can replace most managers with a spreadsheet and a little scripting, there's no reason to use an LLM
I fully agree
Why would AI be worse at scheduling meetings while taking into account work loads?
That can actually be a time consuming process so naturally managers put in the minimal effort and pick whatever outlook says is the next block.
