It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our tech columnist

    I mean it does change everything in that you quickly find out who is paying attention.

      Yup. Ed ZItron is a programmer (I guess) and he had another programmer on his show and they both agreed: AI is extremely helpful in finding them clients they want to work with. That is to say, clients who are constantly asking for full AI-integration are going to be garbage to work for, clients who please say do not use AI in the product in any way are going to be great to work for.

        He is not a programmer, he’s actually into PR.

        And Ludic, the guy he had on, said exactly the opposite.

        AI is very unhelpful because it excites the terrible customers you don’t want to deal with, and puts off the good ones you would have been happy with.

        Either way it ends the possibility of a fruitful exchange of Information.
