  • I think you’re severely overestimating how much the bigwigs even think about this. You’re assuming they have some connection to what these tools do and how employees use them, or even that they understand what is entailed in the work their employees do.

    It’s shiny, “everyone” says you can just fire 30% of your workforce if you “go AI”, so you tell one of your subordinates to “go AI” and the HR to reduce the workforce by 30%, and then go golfing. Maybe think to yourself how much time you saved at having those two emails get autogenerated instead of having to vomit your usual word salad about “synergy” and “opportunity”, and “digital transformation” or whatever.
















  • That’s wrong on both counts.

    The complaints about NFTs were also that they were unethical - consumed a shitton of electricity for no reason, sustained themselves mostly by scams and rugpulls. The chief use case of crypto has always been crime and money laundering.

    The complaints about AI are that it fucking sucks and results in a truly insane waste of resources towards something that doesn’t solve literally any problems, like NFTs squared. The unethical aspect of it all is just a cherry on top that makes using LLMs a no-go even if it happened to kinda work for your problem.
