    It feels like every CEO on earth thinks they need to adopt AI or fall behind, but they have no idea what to use AI for so they’re just ramming it into use cases that no one asked for.

      I’m in tech, and yeah, while we actually do have a couple helpful (nothing revolutionary, just smoothes over some of the drudge work) use cases for Gen AI, we identified those use cases pretty quick and leadership’s been grasping for more ever since.

      They “have” to put them to use, or they can’t justify all the money they spent developing them. And they’ve realized that most people aren’t interested, so they’re starting to force it on people.

    Everyone hates AI. And yet big corps keep trying to cram it down our throats in all sorts of ways in a desperate attempt to justify the ungodly amounts of money they’ve sunk into it.

      The budget reconciliation bill has a line in it that will make regulating AI illegal for a decade. Presumably this will mean that if they cram AI into a product it gives it magical protection.

      We have invested in this!

      So sick of this environment killer software being crammed down everyone’s throats because the sunken cost is too great (and political nastiness).

      You are not interrupting the market, just the customer base.
