My job just let us know that they are going to invest about $170,000 into AI subscriptions per year. A few days later, they fired an artist they had hired for over a decade. A chunk of us are pretty upset but the rest don’t seem to care. They’re too busy playing with Ai making it generate “funny” pictures.
I’m sorry to hear that. Very sad.
Yeah, it’s not great. I feel terrible for the guy because he lives on his own and has a mortgage to pay. I just hope he can get back on his feet sooner rather than later.
“In fact, rather than worrying that AI might not live up to the hype, the biggest concern among CEOs is whether they are transforming fast enough to keep pace with technological change.”
The title is slightly misleading. CEO’s aren’t thinking AI is a waste of time and money, they’re thinking they aren’t moving to AI fast enough.
LLMs are pretty OK at a couple of things. But the way they’re being sold as the next big thing? I’m not buying that.
We will make the value appear… like it or not.
