As ever, the main driver is that owners/leaders have absolutely no respect for their workers. They are replaceable components who need to be replaced with more predictable ones because the unpredictable humans might rise up eventually.
In fairness, workers are very often the most expensive part of a business. Ya'know because they want a living wage... terrible people...
Which is ironic because AI unpredictably makes errors.
And we(society in general) keep believing them, always acting like we’ll be rewarded if we just work a little harder. All the people using AI “because it helps me in my job” haven’t stopped for even a second to ask why the fuck they should be looking to be any more productive than they already are.
We enable this shit. We let ourselves be driven by these fucking toolbags. We have better options presented to us all the time and we ignore them. It’s our fault, but the cool thing about that is that it means we technically have control. Technically.
