Fuck AI

Instead of looking for other avenues for growth, though, PwC found that executives are worried about falling behind by not leaning into AI enough.

These are the people in charge of the economy.

Rich people: Debunking the idea that the rich are the smartest since about 10,000 BCE.

Tech CEOs are a cancer on society and the planet. Ruining everything just to make fake numbers go higher.

I'm starting to think that most "business" leaders have the skills of a Trump. It's all puffery.

Those who advocate for AI the most are the ones who understand it the least.

CEOs aren't in the positions they hold because they're qualified to lead corporations. They're there solely to figure out the best way to exploit workers legally, and illegally without getting caught. Replacing the workforce with LLMs is all they care about. Makes that job a million times easier, even if it isn't working.

The next big thing is NI: natural intelligence! Replace you hallucinating AI with a person that can solve problems without hallucinating (usually)!

Majority of CEOs tried to use Ai on the wrong level of their company: at the bottom.

Oh geez no one could have known that.

How could they have possibly thought AI would make them money? Lmfao. It sucks power and water just to give wrong answers or generate "art" with terrible attention to detail...

Instead of looking for other avenues for growth, though, PwC found that executives are worried about falling behind by not leaning into AI enough.

“A small group of companies are already turning AI into measurable financial returns, whilst many others are still struggling to move beyond pilots,” said PwC global chairman Mohamed Kande in a statement. “That gap is starting to show up in confidence and competitiveness, and it will widen quickly for those that don’t act.”

PwC also pointed out that most companies were lacking the “AI foundations, such as clearly defined road maps and sufficient levels of investment” to realize a return.

And I imagine the only reason I'm drowning is that I didn't bring enough gallons of their energy drink into the sea with me. Wow.

Majority of CEOs discover they are completely incompetent frauds to the point of literally deserving the death sentence

There, fixed the headline.

They will blame workers for not figuring out how to extract the value that all their bank accounts demand is there.

Yeah, No Shit Sherlock, everyone already told you that 3 years ago.

And here is the umpteenth reason to think that C-suites run only on nepotism and empty promises: they're filled with people who are actively bad at their jobs. But while the rest of us gain skills and hone them to try and make a handful of extra peanuts, the guys in the corner offices get handed jobs by family members or friends, simply because it is their destiny to have it.

And thus they never have to be good at it, and any competition for it is artificial, and you end up with people holding the reins of entire companies who have literally no idea the consequences of their decisions or the impact of their policies.

AI has never delivered a return -- at all -- and most of these people probably cannot even define how it works or what benefit it is meant to bring, outside of "replace people with machine, bring more $$$, why use more people when less people do trick?".

Please let this be the beginning of the bubble burst

And watch them get crazy bonuses anyways and suffer no consequences.

Who'd have thought that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters was not the best way to accomplish Hamlet?

Majority of people that aren't out of touch with reality are completely unsurprised.

Sounds good. Then, they'll finally move away from AI and we will all stop having AI being shoved down our throats. I'm sick and tired of all these AI chatbots in places where we don't even need them.

My company is forcing that everybody use AI by having weekly reviews. They expect throughput of 2-4x hahahahaha

Great and very welcome news. If enough companies stop using "AI" maybe it will go away.

The hope still holds that this AI bubble will pop before anything truly terrible can come of it, then it can go back to serving the niches its actually helpful for, rather than being used to screw with everyday working people, and we can all live happily ever after.

It never ceases to amaze how entirely disconnected these folks are.

That's a funny way to say "unsustainable losses"

seems like they ran out of using AI as an excuse to lay people off and "record profits"
