Or do they just take what marketing people say about the tools at face value? Because they seem genuinely surprised that people don't like the tools, when even the most ardent AI enthusiasts I've seen that use the tools are well aware of their limitations.

I deal with a lot of "entrepreneur" small business tyrants and they are increasingly using AI instead of hiring IT staff. The AI is always wrong but it's confident and the small business tyrants are clueless rubes, so it can cause a lot of irritation when they just paste in a giant block of text from an LLM, including the preface where the LLM is telling them how great this output is to send to us and how it's concise and to the point while getting across that the client isn't a techy person but they've covered all their bases beforehand. It's to the point where if I get any communications from a client that have the hint of LLM generation I paste in a line about LLMs not being trained on our documentation and therefore cannot be useful for this purpose and will only waste the client's time and our own.

I assume large corporations are run by very similar people who just have more resources and employees around them to tweak and adjust the outputs of the shitty LLM they use to think for them.
