As someone who loves ai and thinks it's an integral part of a new and better world for all -- Jesus christ what are these companies and journalists on?

Of course you can't just throw current ai into any old shit and magically save money, especially when they're talking about super basic LLMs that we have now. I don't even know what the author is trying to say tbh, a lot of wikilinks to buzzword organizational issues and a false assertions about what ai is?

Yes giving everyone in management a hammer is a waste of money, yes giving the shop guys a hammer is useful.

That's how management works, though. It's never about doing something long term beneficial, but always just seemingly good things for the next quarter. Using AI, or even just announcing to use it, boosts the stock price and the career of whoever is in charge. That it's all crashing down a few months later isn't announced anywhere and swept under the carpet.

It gets click from the redditors who hate anything AI.
