AI is a perfectly distilled example: pushing an underbaked, sometimes neat tool in completely dysfunctional time-wasting ways, from the top down, because leadership is infatuated with the dream of it, talking to other infuatuated leaders, and feeling FOMO… I guess that’s why I came off so cynical when I read this:
We have a duty as industry professionals to fight back, say no, and make sure companies are aware this “new normal” is completely and utterly unacceptable.
…But this keeps happenening.
AI wouldn’t be the infectious mess it is without underlying structural issues, and pushing back on ‘AI’ directly doesn’t really convey “you shouldn’t have shoved this down our throats in the first place, again!” I dunno how how fix that though.
EDIT: I’m definitely venting at this point, apologies.
I’d argue its a leadership culture problem.
