#3There is a big perception issue with AI at the moment where people are (rightly) seeing anything associated with AI to be lower quality of error prone.
I wouldn't be saying AI has done anything at the moment in my company. Because for me it immediately reduces my trust in what you're putting out into the market.
Once the perception issue goes away or reduces, anything marked with AI is going to have consumers pretty distrusting in your product.

#4AI right now feels like the go to for anything and everything that was tedious for humans to do or that took quite a bit of expense. What people seem to struggle to realize is that those exact things that they offload to AI are exactly what made their stuff reliable and well known like Cisco. If I am buying a router I really don't want vibe coded software, I want reliable software that had thought behind it especially if it supports a very critical part of a system.

#5Who is the intended audience for this proclamation? Other C-Suites jockeying to be the most-AI? A warning to engineers that you have no employment leverage? Investors looking to invest in an AI portfolio mix? What if Juniper says that they will create 80% of their software by AI?[0]
As a consumer, I am already pretty disdainful of Cisco's move-fast-and-break-things approach which has good odds of hard-coding yet another password. Network gear should be reliable backbone infrastructure. Little innovation, but incremental progress.

#6That may be true but this is spoken is if that is a good thing and not going to become a gigantic albatross around their neck.

#7What products? Cisco hasn't built a product in decades, they only acquire companies and throw their name in front of the existing product. Do they mean they will only be purchasing AI built products by the end of 2027?

#8So that's why we had to pull over 1000+ access points off ceilings and sit with TAC for over a week unbricking APs with challenge-response pairs at u-boot?

I have already had to deal with Cisco's vibe-coded nightmare and am still actively having to deal with fallout from this stupidity and to see them scream that they're going for more AI over the treetops is going to make me have an aneurysm.

So, economy will continue to function as long as there's a consumer. If it's not clear yet, these companies and their sociopathic agenda don't see the need for consumers they can't control and constrict. At the end of the day, if there's 1 whale on the hook, they can ditch 99 fish.
Economics doesn't have any idea of morality, carrying capacity, etc.
