I'll never not be shocked at how many people who should know much better are duped by marketing nonsense. Like they don't even apply any sort of thought process as to how it will work or how to make it not awful or even what value it's supposed to provide, nothing beyond "implement AI".
Like I see Reuters adding their own AI summaries, and advertising them as such. How long would it take for the actual fucking human that wrote this article to write a 2-sentence summary? What value do you think this provides to your audience, besides encouraging them not to read the article, which is your only job? Why would I read this when I can get the same shit from fuckin Google?
There's a lot of executives saying "we need an AI initiative" and putting it in people's yearly goals. So, people who know better will find an AI product they can afford, come up with some bullshit business justification for it, and then drink themselves to sleep.
The worst case scenario is the AI product manages to generate impressive sounding metrics. If the executives catch wind of that, you now have an AI ball-and-chain strapped to your ankle forever. Don't ask me how I know.
