“My job is basically to oversell an AI product I know is half-broken.”

The pay is good and the deck is glossy, but you're being used to put a true face on a false claim — building under a machine's marketing instead of building with the truth. Every day you sell what you don't believe, a little more of your judgment goes numb. Eyes open: name what this is actually costing you.

Your Practice

  1. Write down plainly what the tool actually does and what you're being asked to claim it does.
  2. Find the line you won't cross — the specific lie — and decide it now, before you're mid-pitch.
  3. Push internally for honest claims. Sometimes the system bends when someone names the gap.
  4. If it won't bend, start the exit. A paycheck that costs you your judgment is overpriced.
