CEOs Are Quietly Telling Us the Truth: AI Is Replacing You

[Metaphorical]

2. Won't happen

I work with AI daily. Most AIs are useless without someone babysitting them very closely, and their tendency to hallucinate is only getting worse, not better, with each iteration. Most companies that have gone the route of trying to replace workers with AIs are (quietly) restaffing because they AIs are causing more work than they are solving. This holds even more for agentic workflows, which basically ends up making it all but impossible to figure out what's wrong until well after the damage is done, because LLMs (GenAI) are very inconsistent.

We're going to reach a point where the whole house of cards collapses, because investors don't bother to really educate themselves about the downsides to these technologies. From an engineering perspective, AIs are seen as useful if you are wanting to generate content, but they are not production ready and introduce an obscene amount of technical debt in the process.
