Watch now | The backlash is real and the data backs it. But it is aimed at the wrong target, and the people who see the difference are about to pull away from everyone else.
Seriously Kamil, thank you for teaching your subscribers about “yoda mode”. I recently taught my postgrad classmates the prompt i used to create an activity worksheet to refine my ideas on our project instead of asking AI to write my paper, and they said they’ve never prompted AI that way before.
One thing I'd add is the fatigue is also from the hype gap. Leaders promise AI
will solve everything, then mandate performative adoption without clear use
cases. Then everyone's disappointed when it doesn't magically fix everything.
I personally don't believe none of this is AI, since AI is a field of study, and we have being using a lot of tools that came out of this field of study, what we have is a tool, very good at linguistics, but is not intelligent. I don't believe the correct approach is saying to people, "just use it", it feels like an ultimatum.
Yes is a great tool, but seeing companies using it as an excuse to reduce people, says a lot of the type of company we are dealing with.
It's a play, no doubt. And using the word "AI" in everything now feels wrong
and misleading. If we were actually dealing with true AI, big tech could be in
major trouble for exploitation. But I feel we're far away from achieving

I'm so glad this analogy helped. You always get better results if you ask for questions instead of answers.

Totally agree. Tools work just as well or badly as the folks wielding them.
