I’m wondering which of these 2 options is true for the chief techbro who came up with this:

  1. They are genuinely clueless, and have never used ChatGPT for more than 5 minutes
  2. They know the limitations of LLMs well, but they want to ride the AI hype to inflate their company value (and maybe cut some costs by downsizing)

They believe in infinite growth. They think LLMs are going to get reliable fast. LLMs have probably played a direct role in convincing them of that

Yep they're paying lip service to the employees but this message is 100% to potential investors looking to bet on the AI wave.

it being an email from their CEO is basically all the evidence needed, CEOs don't say anything that isn't somehow meant to increase profits.
