I swear if I see “AI” getting in my way again while browsing a website, I’ll go somewhere else instead.

Deloitte says it because they’re privately held. All the publicly traded companies are trying to pump this shit up because stock price go brrrrrt

It would seem to me that if large language models are improving, productivity and efficiency, that will inevitably translate to bottom line improvement. Whether or not revenue increases, if costs decrease that is an evident benefit from AI investment.

The funny part is – the big consulting firms promised the profits with their big surveys and POV’s. So glad I left big consulting. Do 2-4 big surveys each year of F500 companies C-suite and we have content all year and we can walk in the door and tell them what they need to do.

My senior management remarked publicly that the coding assistant hasn’t shown meaningful improvement in roadmap delivery speed not head count reduction.
Told his reportee that the entire bottleneck is in PLM
taking too long to decide stuff and even after decision taken them changing mind after seeing demo.

I find chatGPT to be an incredible tool in my daily life. However, I find any AI features that companies are slapping on to their existing products absolutely useless. Opening up the GPT API was a mistake (although I guess that’s the point of OpenAI). These tools are awesome by themselves. I don’t need a company to sell me a bastardized version of it.

Isn’t the promise of AI: job losses followed by outsourcing to India?

Deloitte reports that AI has not completely killed off Deloitte yet.

Everytime I see the word Agentic AI or Vibe Coder I immediately this of guy from Big Short. CDO squared? No no its AI squared!
What about all the problems LLMs are supposed to solve? Have we made faster progress on medicine and sciences?

Like that matters. All economies are planned economies regardless of system and ideological “ism”. Pretty sure the people on at the top are very aware of that. Just look at the history of Amazon and also. The idea that everything has too be “profitable” is just nonsense story for normie cattle.

Who could have predicted this?
Was it every project manager on the planet, who would have warned you that deploying an organization-wide replacement without planning, testing, scoping, integration, custodianship, and a split branch would have risks and negative ramifications?
Was it every technical director of any seniority to have ever had a job who could have warned you not to fire multiple staff engineers, that AI is tech’s modern buzzword, that AI can/does/will write bogus code that can break main?
Was it every quality assurance tester on the planet who recognized that replicable results were limited and experienced significant degradation over time, that test results were inconsistent, non-performant, and would often require manual review after every test anyway to ensure that the AI wasn’t outright fabricating outcomes?
… or did we have a bunch of dipshit, know-nothing CEO’s who live in their LinkedIn echo chamber get suckered by your modern “techbro evangelists” (who also don’t know how to do anything but promote “solutions” to non-problems with non-verifiable results) that promised them the moon and the world for a ChatGPT API?
Because I work in tech, and quite literally every director, at every layer, was emphatically calling out how underbaked and unproven the technology was, begging management not to make the stupidest fucking decision of all time to **TRY** and save a few bucks of margin while compromising headcount, morale, productivity, stability, and user experience. And I watched nearly all of them get ignored because of some tech-averse dipshit who heard about AI from some low-grade salesman, didn’t consult a SINGLE member of the team, and then tried to back peddle within months of their forced-deployment across layers of the organization.

You paid firms to assess what majority already knew. The disconnect is absolutely amazing

I saw a chart that says CEOs are like 20X more likely to report AI is saving them 4 hours or more of time per week than workers are.
So this is a potential bubble sign. If CEOs and Executives are living in one reality and their workers in another, CEOs are getting massively more overhyped about AI than justified.
Of course, it might just be a delayed trickle down effect where workers will eventually see massive time savings with AI. To be honest, I kindof am already as a white collar worker. Mostly for finding emails. So we will see.

AI profits will come from reduced salary. Companies are embedding AI into everything and calling it automation. Mass layoffs are coming no matter what at this point…
DrunkenDognuts on
I’ll say it again. AI is the biggest scam ever perpetrated.
It’s a money grab and a Shell game.
Which is why the Tech-Bros(tm) are pushing it so hard and so fast. They know that if anybody really gets an idea of how bad it is, they won’t be able to extract billions of dollars from politicians and corporations, etc., before the money train runs off the rails.

Look, AI is BS compared to what they promised, BUT Deloitte (of all the companies out there) has every incentive to promote every negative AI story they can because it’s their supposed competition.
