My org have been talking about hiring "AI consultants". I wanted to flip a table over and storm out when that was mentioned. There's no shortage of better things to spend money on.

Yep, working in a safety critical environment and constantly hear how safety reports will be made by personally tailored AI and requirements developed and managed with AI. Then the natural step is to hire AI consultants to do that. Fuckin hell it's looking bleak. And because every business executive thinks this is the solution, it'll become a race to the bottom because all capital will also go to those dumbass ideas, then all people capable of doing work without AI will be replaced by those who do it less well with AI over time. I'm entirely unconvinced that this will be good (despite the fact historically that such advances have been fine, like with calculators or computers generally). This time we don't KNOW how the solution is reached..
