I work for a healthcare company and an email from a business customer today found its way to me asking if we use or plan on using "AI".
The person asking this absolutely makes business decisions and absolutely has no idea what they are talking about. It was clear from the email that all they know is "AI good", "No AI bad".
It would be like outsourcing to India if even business that makes absolutely no sense to outsource like restaurants were talking about outsourcing to India for no other reason than "outsourcing good". Of course, not actually doing anything, just the appearance and lip service as to not appear to fall behind the times.
exactly this. it’s why i’m having trouble getting too worked up about the notion of AI replacing all the jobs (though i think it will end up, for a time, reducing the number of early career jobs available, which has its own social ramifications.)
No, the media will have had at least eight years of feeding us, "This was inevitable. It's how the economy naturally works. This is our new reality. Nothing could have been done."
Among the frightening parts of that is the time and human lives it has taken between Boeing destroying its engineering culture and starting to pay the price for that destruction.
Time is a circle. All I know is that I wouldn't use Klarna's products. I work in fintech and the number of mistakes I've seen since devs started relying on AI has accelerated.
