    “Vaughan was surprised to find it was often the technical staff, not marketing or sales, who dug in their heels.”

    So the people that understood it best were sceptical, and this didn’t give him pause.

    Can someone explain to me why all these empty suits dick ride LLMs so hard?

      Because they try the tools, realize that their job is pretty much covered by LLMs and think it’s the same for everyone.

      Technical staff were skeptical because they actually know what AI can and can’t do reliably in production environments - it’s good at generating content but terrible at logical reasoning and mission-critical tasks that require consistancy.

        Thank goodness nobody is crusading to have AI take over medicine.

        Not really. Because they don’t work and then they have to hire more humans which is more expensive than just keeping them on for the 6 months it’ll take for the CEOs to realise that.
