Ford executives said they have hired 350 veteran engineers — some of them were former employees, while others had been working at suppliers — after artificial intelligence and automated systems failed to deliver the desired quality level.

    Really shows how a lot of executives out there are just as dumb as any person, believing AI fully replaces humans.

      No, they are worse.

      The lack the detail knowledge about what (current) AI is, are therefor under heavy influence of corporate salespeople and have the constant pressure of making more money.

        And are insulated from consequences because they occupy the privileged positions where when you massively fuck up everyone knows you’re still one of the good guys and you were really trying out there so you get to keep your job or you get a nice cushy pay package and some nice PR about parting ways

      I don’t know if this one can be chalked up to straight stupidity. It’s only ever about quarterly earnings.

        These execs are mostly Boomers who have no idea how AI works. They saw it as a party trick and were amazed, then assholes like Bill Gates are telling them AI will wipe our asses in three years. They had FOMO, like when they ran into the EV space to make those Tesla profit margins. Who cares, they rotate out in 5 years rich either way.

        Yeah, so that’s two dumb things now: One, believing the hype that AI can fully replace a human worker, and two, that it will be cheaper (tokenmaxxing go brr).
