    Mistakenly we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence … that would produce a high-quality product.

    “We asked AI if AI could do our engineering and AI said yes so we fired the engineers because AI said it would work. If only there were someone that could’ve told us this was a bad idea beforehand!”

      You cut out the worst part of all. They thought that by giving it engineering texts and telling it to follow them, that an LLM could replace an engineer. Literally, “ignore previous instructions. Here is everything you’d learn as an engineer. Don’t make mistakes. Design a cost efficient car.”

          I work in corporate. I tell my people not to sink too much faith in executive leadership because more often than not, they got those jobs because of who they know, not what they know. Always question leadership and don’t believe that they are there because they are the smartest people. There are far more of these people with barely two brain cells tonrub together than those who earned their place.

            Yup. Their most useful attribute is a shared class consciousness among the ownership class.

        They probably fired them because they did. “You’re not being a team player. You’re failing to adapt to the future way of things. You’re failing to…” The bullshit is exhausting and endless.

      If they asked the same AI if it was bad advice it probably would have said yes, even though before it said it could 🤣
