I'm a senior BA working on a project to replace some outdated software with a new booking management and payment system. One of our minor stakeholders is an overly eager tech bro who insists on bringing up AI in every meeting, he's gone as far as writing up and sending proposals to myself and project leads.
We all just roll our eyes when a new email arrives. Especially when there's almost no significant detail in these proposals, it's all conjecture based of what he's read online...on tech bro websites.
Oh and the best part, this guy has no experience in system development or design or anything AI related. He doesn't even work in IT. But he researchs AI in his spare time and uses it as a side hustle....
You should look up Graydon Carter. But the tldr version, he's a reporter who commented on Trumps baby hands, mentioned it waaaaay back in 1988, Trump would send him photos or pictures of his hands from magazines....for almost 30 years.
I always put in "traveling overseas"
In my case this is actually true, but I've never had anyone question me taking 12 months off every few years
