I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity (ludic.mataroa.blog)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can't manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn't laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI specifically has been assisting with strategic decision making? What the actual fuck are you talking about?

....

I don't believe you. No one with a brain believes you, and if your board believes what you just wrote on the survey then they should fire you.

This is actually more terrifying than you might have intended.

I've long thought that the greatest danger AI poses is going to be the "man behind the curtain" effect. If people can blame everything on AI then AI can be a blanket covering deliberate harm.

Imagine if government starts using AI for decision making. You could easily end up with a "man behind the curtain" who's actually calling all the shots and just pretending it's the AI doing it. Then you'd effectively have a dictatorship where nobody knows/believes they're in a dictatorship.

Yep AI will definitely be used as stamp of approval for bad decisions. Just give it input and questions in different ways until you get the answer you want, and you can say, hey the fancy AI advised it!
