True, but this was a problem long before AI (read this article, met this guy at a conference who told me x, my boss said blah)

AI probably exacerbates it but crappy managers exist regardless

Before maybe you had to deal with someone hiring schetchy consultants once in a while, but now the managers have a limitless well of dubious answers to draw on at any time.

Yeah dealing with this now, where my CTO is shipping features that are producing plausible results but just wrong. So, now I gotta spend all day explaining the math behind certain features to her, and she copies and pastes it to Claude.
