I just came across this essay on AI mania in the business community, which I found very interesting. It’s like investors have found it so enticing, that it is being forced on everyone from board of directors down to CEOs, executives and employees, without real proof that it is effective.
It seems to have become a fervour in an almost religious style, where people who don’t believe end up getting fired, and all kinds of inefficient behaviour is being encouraged to keep the push for AI in the workplace intact. The article goes into various types of behaviour at various levels.
What do you all think? Do these claims of massively increased productivity actually hold water, or is it like the writer of the essay says, largely overblown sales hype?
