I’m in IT at an upper level and know painfully well what “AI” really is and that it’s not the disruptor people think it will be. However I feel like I can’t post it anywhere without being judged about it as almost every exec I know has bought into it hook, line and sinker. Even other people I talk to about the issues and limitations look at me like I’m completely weird “you’re in IT and you don’t embrace AI? wtf is wrong with you?”

So what do you all do? I don’t want to make things career limiting but I feel like I’m screaming in the dark seeing where things will really go. It reminds me a lot of the move to cloud and everyone going all in on it without knowing the real ramifications.

    I’m old enough to say my opinion. And it’s not kind towards ‘ai’, but I have seen real use cases now and then.

      I wish I was at that point but I still have another 20 years left and I’m between jobs due to a layoff.

        Hey I also estimate 20 years left if I get to finish work at all… But I’m well established so I never had issues finding another employer. And included in my services is my opinion 😁

        Best wishes!
