 Title: If it’s BS work, have the BS-artist do it - Using AI for Bureaucratic Toil Removal
 Abstract:

 There’s a lot of bureaucratic toil you need to deal with when you’re improving your software culture, tools, and methods inside large organizations. You know: DevOps, digital transformation, and stuff.  There’s also just the daily corporate nonsense you need to deal with. This talk will explore using AIs to help reduce bureaucratic toil like: keeping up with status meetings and weekly reports, dealing with glacial-speed governance, persuading people to embrace new ideas like pair programming, vision and strategy, writings tories and managing backlogs, transforming HR policy, working with finance, dealing with the ticket-wall, and more. You’ll see “live prompting” with ChatGPT, even from audience suggestions. Come experiment with using AI to cut through the kind of toil that’s keeping your organization in Westrum’s Bureaucratic column.

 Note to conference organizers:

 DevOps and SRE taught us to automate as much toil as possible. I think we can use things like ChatGPT to automate bureaucracy toil. This talk will do "live prompting" to explore that theory and leave the audience with some tools to spend less time on corporate BS.

 Why I’m excited about this talk:

 I don't like dealing with meetings, writing reports, trying to persuade people to change to proven techniques...all that stuff those meetings that could have been a meeting, or just a one line Slack message. No one does! I've been playing around with ChatGPT to write this kind of stuff, but also do things like brainstorm ideas for things like vision and strategy. I'm most excited to get feedback from the audience and in doing some impromptu "live prompting" find out even more and...have fun.
