**AITA for Telling My Coworker Tom Kane That His "AI-Enhanced" Productivity Report Was Just Him Asking ChatGPT to Rewrite a 10-Year-Old Spreadsheet While He Napped?**

AITA for telling my coworker Tom Kane that his “AI-enhanced” productivity report was just him asking ChatGPT to rewrite a 10-year-old spreadsheet while he napped?

Found the actual email chain, and oh boy, does this get spicy. So, Tom (48M) got promoted to “Digital Transformation Lead” six months ago. Since then, he has done exactly zero digital transformation. Instead, he’s been running a scam where he opens Excel, takes a screenshot, runs it through an AI image generator that adds a “futuristic glow,” and then presents it in monthly all-hands meetings as “disruptive synergy.”

Yesterday, I (29F, senior analyst) was asked to “audit his workflow.” I opened his “cutting-edge predictive model” and it was literally a pivot table from 2013. When I confronted him, he said: “You don’t understand the nuance of human-AI collaboration. I’m using my intuition as a foundation.”

So I did what any rational person would do: I put the original 2013 file as a background on his computer, overlayed it with the “AI” version, and emailed it to the whole company with the subject line: “The Real Digital Transformation: A Story of Copy-Paste.”

Now HR is saying I “created a hostile work environment” because Tom cried during a Teams call and said I “broke his personal brand.” The CEO’s assistant pulled me aside and whispered, “You’re right, but he’s the CEO’s nephew.”

TL;DR: Caught a 48-year-old man using ChatGPT to rebrand a spreadsheet from the Obama era as “innovation.” Now I’m the bad guy. AITA?
