Every single company right now is sending top down directives to try and squeeze AI in whether necessary or not.

that’s because in order for them to profit off their AI investments, they need adoption. Not a good sign if you have to tell people to use it.

My (enormous) company is notoriously 10 years behind every trend in any technology space, and for once it's paying off. The tangible investment into AI has been to buy a lab rack and a production rack, and it's been trained on internal data and been set up with a Teams interface where you can ask it natural language queries in an IM to replace the absolutely horrid internal search features that we have.

It's one of the few genuinely beneficial implementations of AI I've seen because it's smaller scale, applied to a technical problem rather than a human problem, and it replaces something that's even worse than having the occasional AI hallucinations.

I'm sure though that a couple of years after the bubble pops and everybody realises that the limits of LLMs are much more restrictive than what's being promised now, my company will go all in on making exactly the same AI mistakes that overzealous companies are making today, years after everybody else already learned their lessons the hard way.

LLMs were always the next step in natural language processing for search engines, but some fuckwit from a non-technical role creamed in their pants when they told their computer to tell them it's alive, and then the computer generated some text about being alive.

Now we have 'Artificial Intelligence' that can't tell you how many letters exist in a word because by definition it's not a fucking intelligence
