In my own work, I am seeing so much overreliance in under inspection of AI generated stuff that has consequential impact on their business. It feels like there’s going to be some sort of corporate Darwinism ahead based on companies misuse of LLM’s.

I would like to once again refer to my prediction that at some point some CFO will just ask a bot to "Generate me next quarter's results".

All the talk I'm hearing from people over invested in the tech makes me think it's already happening.

Job displacement is a regretable and IMHO naive consequence.

The next few years are going to be terrifying/really fun depending on your perspective. Anyone with responsibilities involving information security will likely fall into the prior category. Terrified!

Good luck!

If they don't see it screw up, they don't have the inherent mistrust of the output they quite frankly need.

Luckily, in my daily life I have no need to use AI for anything. What's more, I'm not even online much, and my phone is on silent all day, so I look things up when I want and I'm not bombarded with notifications. But with all this AI hype, I'm thinking of distancing myself even further from the public digital world and pretending I'm back in the late '80s and the web, social media, and smartphones didn't exist yet. 😜

Some companies are using AI like a junior analyst with supervision.

Others are using it like an unattended intern with domain admin, a company credit card, and zero change control.

Only one of those groups is making it back from the away mission. 😂

It really does seem like executives have globally decided to put their heads in the sand.

I really don't understand their mindset. When/if they get what they want, it's just going to harm them.
