Let me introduce you to Sid, my new best friend and colleague. I just hired him. He didn't cost too much, and he doesn't mind working 24/7 just to help me.

As an SRE, platform engineer, and developer on call, when shit really hits the fan-or just on the most tedious, boring day-to-day tasks-he's there to help. Getting me up to speed, examining probable causes, and giving me tips and pointers in a chaotic situation, or just helping me with the tasks I hate.

I'm the first to complain about people hyping up AI and wanting to insert it everywhere, thinking it will replace people. But let's look at how to use it as a tool. I'll take you through a week in tech and show how the right use of AI as a tool can actually be helpful in all parts of the DevOps process, not only as a chatbot on top of your dying documentation.
