• Look, there is no denying the fact that AI tools have already and will continue to be adopted in the workplace. If I had it my way, we would regulating its use across all industries far more than we currently are, but unfortunately, I do not make the rules. That being said, no matter what industry you're in, employees simply cannot let AI replace their own input entirely. It's simply not advanced enough yet, and even if it was, there will always be the possibilty of abnormalities and irregularities of some kind. 

  In short, it sounds like Toby was getting way too ahead of himself when it came to all the AI tools at his disposal. He didn't just seem like someone with a passion for it (otherwise, why would he be working in such a different industry?), but he acted like he didn't even have to provide surveillance over its application. At your own peril, Toby! Not only could this lack of due diligence speak volumes to his own work ethic and job security, but it could also make life harder for coworkers and clients, who then have to clean up his mess. Now, he's proven himself to be incompetent while also creating a growing list of enemies in the workplace. I guess he has Grok to thank for that.
