CEOs also have zero idea how AI/LLMs work. They are shockingly clueless.

What I think they're really saying is: 99% of CEOs expect to blame layoffs on AI in the next 2 years

    I guess they missed the memo that AI is now more expensive than people.

    That's before enshitification sets in and tech companies start jacking up prices and delivering a poorer service. "AI" will become more and more erratic as inputs become polluted with generated slop. The firehose of human knowledge will reduce and so the capabilities of LLMs. Golden age of "AI" is now

    I suspect this is kinda like outsourcing which they similarly couldn't manage because they're bad at management.

    If a human cannot make sense of your directives, how will a chatbot?

    The C-suite doesn't even understand what AI can proper do and what it can't.
