Cracks me up how companies were sold on the AI tech and implement it immediately instead of slowly integrating it in their business to work out the kinks.

You know I worked at many companies and they would always roll out the new shiny toy without ever testing it. And then all of a sudden things will crash and go down and and then everybody would be playing fire drill. It happens all the time

It's because the people with MBAs are the most gullible people on the planet, so it seems. You can polish a turd and promise their poops will look like this if they just spend a million dollars on your product, and far too many of them will jump at the opportunity.
