It's become particularly nasty with generative AI, however, because now said CEOs can still see an end result that mimics the thing they don't understand—and are able to self-delude themselves into thinking it's replicable at scale, or that it's even producing the same quality as the product they've actually been selling.
I think that's well said. The shit that comes out of these things is often "good enough" and until there's real reckonings with that not actually being good enough, it's gonna keep going.
I'm waiting on (almost hoping for one sooner rather than later) a large systemic failure that nobody can ignore. Like stock market collapse due to AI agent fuckery or a bridge failure because the engineer just asked ChatGPT to hallucinate a bridge and assume it was good enough.
If not, I wonder if we'll just have a slow degeneration until nothing makes sense and there's trash piles everywhere.
Go away, 'baitin
