AI driven individual incentives for decision makers. Comp goes up for showing off AI, not hiring people. Lots of “thought leaders” who push the solution but will be gone for the consequences. Next folks (usually those who remain) clean up the mess to no fanfare.
>Comp goes up for showing off AI, not hiring people. That's funny because a few years ago it was the reverse. people were saying how big tech was bloated, caused by managers that felt their clout was proportional to how many people were under them.

I don't post often or ever so don't remember, you can't change the title to be more reflective of what it is? A shorter version may be > A Vermont pharmacy chain's AI implementation led to delays, incorrect information and privacy concerns.

Honest question, why aren’t pills dispensed by machines? I get that a pharmacist should review the prescription. And let’s say you even want employee-customer interaction; which is great. But dispensing X pills from one bottle to another bottle is a solved problem right?
I needed an emergency prescription the other night and arrived at the pharmacy three minutes before closing time. The pharmacist was able to verify my prescription, dispense the pills, check their work, and complete my transaction with a minute to spare. It would take a very long time to pay off a machine that handled just the dispensing part.
