We should consider the fact that AI ain’t a company, it is a feature, the same as highly intelligent people per se don’t earn tons of money.

Paradoxically we are in a phase of technological stagnation. Cloud movement was/is maybe the latest paradigm shift for a couple of years to decades to come.

AI will accelerate features and won’t mark a product category itself, same as gifted people are capable of outperforming others in intellectual fields, but don’t necessarily need to.

The mundane stuff like generating text is what is AI paradoxically needed for. (Imagine that, that humanity’s greatest gift is now outsourced.)

This is what makes AI so hard to grasp. We know what it is, but it is hard to applying it in concrete business contexts. “OK Google analyze my company with 100.000 workers” won’t happen soon. Society needs to take care of possible side effects first.

Oh I am pretty certain someone™ will put the whole personal record into an LLM on someone elses computer (aka the cloud) and ask who needs to be fired and come up with a reason. Then they will fire them. Then the reason will turn out to be bullshit.

On the other side, there will be a ton of cowards who will say the computer told them to do X, where X is the thing they wanted to do all along. And the neat part is that you don't even need to ask a computer for that, you just pretend you did. And in the end if Xbturns out to be a shit choice, you can use the famous software error-excuse and be off the hook immediately, because apparently liability ends there automatically or something.
