Unfortunately this is *absolutely* the wrong lesson.

The real lesson is:

🔹️most work of exec class is substance-less illusions.

If AI is useful in a given use case its because you really only care about form, not substance [as an aside, this why such a great plagiarism machine].

(2) AI is mostly useless for workers, because they have to produce things with substantive content. People care that they get it right - AI just can't do this consistently.

A useful rule of thumb: genAI gets it 80% right about 70% of the time. If you like those tolerances, it's fab - if not 😬

This has three implications.

(1) Most exec will grossly overestimate the broad utility and efficacy of AI because of confirmation bias.

Its good for them, so must be good for everyone. They will only listen to evidence that validates THEIR experiences

So:

🔹️Execs ❤️ AI.

🔹️Workers (who care about getting it right) dont.

🔹️But because of confirmation bias, execs tend to take lesson that it's great for everyone.

🔹️So execs want everyone to use it, and are convinced it will increase efficiency
