MY AI COWORKER STOLE MY CREDIT IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE COMPANY

i built an internal tool that collected customer feedback and summarized recurring problems. on launch day my manager showed the results to the company and called it the ai agent's brilliant innovation

the slide deck identified the model as lead researcher. i was listed beneath it as 'implementation support.' i had designed the prompts, connected the data, tested the results, and fixed the mistakes

i interrupted politely and explained what the project involved. management hadn't realized the workflow needed constant review and maintenance. they agreed to correct the credits

i now write a human-owner section into every project handoff. the model can take a bow after it learns to attend a planning meeting without hallucinating a competitor
