"All of the AI projects we have observed as a team are failing. Every single one – we have seen 0% success in a year and a half, not only amongst projects we have been asked to participate in2, but even within projects that we have observed in passing while doing totally unrelated work."

Sounds like a skill issue

I don’t know if you intended it, but that was a good pun

This matches my experience. Leadership gives us a weekly "AI is amazing, it's world changing, we're using it for everything". Every project using AI is at least six months late. My team gets praised for using it effectively but we're the team that turned it off. We had an SLA violation because Copilot hallucinated a service we don't have that it claimed was down and we can't convince ops that the service literally doesn't exist. Any amount of time AI could have saved me has been swallowed up tenfold by everyone else having access to it and I hate what work has become.

another world-is-ending chicken screaming just don't use AI don't use computers go run a farm or something stop complaining and stop using just enough with your AI hate if it's not for you, fine, go do something else

The article is about how being seen as negative on AI is getting people fired, even if their grievances are legitimate. It's not really about AI itself, it's about the decision making around it.

I work at F500 company and this is not my experience at all. We are rolling out claude to basically everyone in my division and people are doing pretty amazing things with it and the uptake is high. Building “skills” around specific workflows has been very useful. We have regular training where we meet to share “skills”. Its exciting. Its not all rainbows but the impact and growth potential is very clear to me. This…

Agree. It’s good and exciting. It is so strong at information retrieval. Much enterprise work is finding, categorising, slicing, summarising info. Querying SQL, searching Sharepoint, AWS/Azure CLI, log analysis… etc. Amazing. ABAC/RBAC, data labelling, scoped tokens, Purview all v helpful in managing risk.

What gives you basis to believe and accept that all of the above is exhaustive, complete and devoid of fakes? That "finding" finds ALL what exists and NONE of what does not exist? Ditto for categorising, summarising and labeling?

There is no fundamental guarantees provided by LLM architecture, so to assert anything of sorts would require manually executing the operation and comparing the results. And why not asserting the correctness is not negligence or fraud?

I am not saying it is impossible, but so far I have not found any explanations that would close this huge gap in logic for me. LLMs themselves "admit" the gap cannot be explained rationaly.
