Office integrity is important, especially when it comes to creative work.

The following story involves a man whose colleague generates AI artwork and websites.

Then, his colleague proudly claims them as his own.

Although he usually responds politely, he feels like he should confront him with honesty.

Let’s take a closer look!

WIBTAH For Telling Someone Their AI-Generated Work Is NOT Impressive?

A colleague (24M) of mine (27M) regularly generates artwork and websites using AI.

He then passes it off as his own.

He often proudly announces, “Look at what I made” to the whole office.

This man feels his colleague is being dishonest.

To me, this is as dishonest as outsourcing work to someone else and claiming it as your own.

I’ve been a developer and graphic designer for the better part of a decade.

He often approaches me to show off what he’s “made.”

Most of the time, I respond with a reluctant smile and “very nice.”

So he plans to confront him with what he really thinks about his AI-generated work.

However, I’m slowly approaching my wits’ end with how often he passes off AI-generated work as his own.

I can feel myself cracking.

I’m on the verge of saying, “Your AI-generated slop is lazy and unimpressive.

It is a slap in the face to those who spent years honing their skills.”
