> AI will automate it and we can let go of knowledgeable humans

I used to be upset when people said these things based on pressing a button and watching a computer generate a word salad like a slot machine hitting the jackpot. Until I realized that it’s not a statement about the machine, it’s a statement about themselves. They can’t distinguish between competent people and confident sounding and well-formatted regurgitation. Which is especially concerning from leaders, who really should be able to weed out imposters.

Now, AI may make more leaps quickly that changes the equation. But anyone with an ounce of experience in the tech world knows to not take optimistic extrapolations at face value.
