It's not about looking for a scapegoat yet. Its about CEOs actually not understanding why it's not working.
I have such a situation at my work. All the top management know ai only at a level where it seems everything is possible. It's a beautiful level, I remember being at that level, so nice. For a while I tried to explain where the limits are, but I was dismissed as a naysayer every time. So I adapted and decided to kind of get back on that train officially, but route most of my work to where it makes sense.
currently going through this at my small company. the owners seem to think it's great - one of them has been playing around with it creating various tools for the past couple years. to be fair, the last thing he's been working on has actually been rather impressive. the other guy only just started using it and I think he's in the honeymoon phase. still, it's a bit worrying.
I've asked when I can get access to the same tools, and it hasn't been rolled out to the teams yet. but from what I've seen, the actual use cases for us (consolidating standards documents, pulling out information from standards documents, creating spec sheets and requirements documents etc) it is not really worth it, since everything has to be validated anyways
from my perspective of not being able to use the same tools myself, it still seems like just a search engine to me. a better ctrl+f. which isn't to say it's a bad tool, though definitely an inefficient one.
Half the respondents are from the c-suite...
And the question asked wasn't "are you doing this" it's "do you believe people are doing this".
I literally quoted it because I knew people still wouldn't read the source, but here we are.
I didn't read the article and am grateful for the context :D <3
