That's AI for you.

At Amazon we have many forums to share our AI wins, but none to share AI failures or disappoinments.

No wonder execs make bad decisions regarding AI, they only hear completely one-sided stories.

At my company there's a lot of discussion about AI and complaints that people run out of tokens within a day, but zero results are shown. No measurable (or measured) gains. Or nothing that people are willing to talk about, in any case.

In $COMPANY, for the mid-yearly review, the employees were asked whether their AI usage was 1/ efficient, 2/ adoptive (integrated in the way they work) or 3/ transformative.

Saying “never used it” or “I tried and it was useless” was literally not possible.
