I’m in IT at an upper level and know painfully well what “AI” really is and that it’s not the disruptor people think it will be. However I feel like I can’t post it anywhere without being judged about it as almost every exec I know has bought into it hook, line and sinker. Even other people I talk to about the issues and limitations look at me like I’m completely weird “you’re in IT and you don’t embrace AI? wtf is wrong with you?”
So what do you all do? I don’t want to make things career limiting but I feel like I’m screaming in the dark seeing where things will really go. It reminds me a lot of the move to cloud and everyone going all in on it without knowing the real ramifications.
Recent blog in The New Oil nails it. AI is here to stay and also, AI is being rammed in everywhere with billions being spent on it
So was the metaverse though, we have seen massive investments turn to dust in the past. I don’t think LLMs will ever go away, but I’m not convinced they’ll stick around making no money and burning resources forever.
Oh. I absolutely agree. This bubble will burst creating another massive international stock market fiasco.
