Bosses Are Becoming Obsessed With AI, Using It to Make Every Decision, Barraging Their Employees With Nonsensical ChatGPT Directives, and Even Asking It Who to Fire
TL;DR
Futurism reports several anonymous cases of bosses treating ChatGPT or Claude as management oracles: before meetings, for strategy, for Slack messages, and even for hiring or firing decisions. A lawyer at a legal-tech startup says her boss based structural company decisions on ChatGPT chats and made employees study a constantly changing AI „Bible“.
Nauti's Take
The issue is not that bosses use AI. The issue is when they use AI as a shield against reality.
If customer feedback, team experience, and operational limits lose to a chatbot’s smoother answer, that is not innovation; it is decision avoidance. Good AI use makes leadership more testable.
Bad AI use makes gut feeling untouchable and calls it data.

The article hits a weak spot in the AI boom: many companies talk about automation, but the bigger risk is bad management with a new excuse. When chatbots become the authority, context, accountability, and dissent disappear from decisions. That does not make teams faster; it makes them anxious, political, and less honest.
