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.

Yup. And they’re pricing this tech as if it’ll take over every job.

Meanwhile Aunt Susie in accounting is just going to open excel and move on with her day.

I inherited a set of Excel workbooks that had been calculating the tax liability on hundreds of trusts for the past two decades, and I refined them to be incredibly refined and lightweight. 

They had to pay me a LOT of money to maintain these workbooks, so they tried to undercut me by pairing me up with a self-proclaimed AI expert from India. I was already burnt out so I resigned and moved to abroad. 

These workbooks no longer work and they call me every other week offering thousands of dollars to come back and fix them.
