A survey of over 1,300 managers by ResumeBuilder, reported by CBS News, found 65% use AI tools for work decisions, and among them, 94% said AI influences who gets promoted, who gets a raise, and who gets laid off, with one-third having zero formal AI training. According to reporting from Futurism, an attorney at a legal tech startup quit after her boss used a ChatGPT prompt to pivot the company into bankruptcy law without market research or board discussion. Other accounts from Futurism describe a boss creating a hundreds-of-pages document called “The Bible” for staff to feed to ChatGPT instead of asking humans, a SaaS CEO dismissing real customer feedback because Claude disagreed, and a non-profit director sending AI-generated emails contradicting human consensus. One worker described his supervisor’s ChatGPT habit as consulting a “digital priest,” while another told Slate these bosses are “developing cavities in their brains.” Thomson Reuters analysis warns that unchecked AI use erodes cognitive skills, human connection, and workplace engagement.
