A lot of people seem to be realizing that knowledge work is mostly pointless. AI might give us the pleasure of finding out what happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers.
AI hype and uncertainty is definitely influencing decision making, that’s for sure. If your company doesn’t have strong integrated product and architectural leadership, then managers across the company are probably grasping at straws, hoping to find some meaningful goals and ideas that stick. And lazy leaders, who traditionally rely on Gartner and similar feeds for trends and investment direction, probably think anything AI related is a safer bet than … well, anything else their underlings are proposing.
Hence the need to wrap sound decisions in a layer of AI. It’s BS, and many know it’s BS, but it seems necessary just now.
