AI狂热正在摧毁全球决策能力

AI狂热正在破坏全球决策：https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decision-making/ （来源：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48964185）这是Nik Suresh关于AI狂热的一个有趣视角，这种狂热正在席卷他所咨询的大公司。内容充满了来自匿名来源的刺激性趣闻。

在一个极端案例中，我看到一位高管承认，他们一生中甚至从未使用过ChatGPT或任何AI工具，就在他们为一家年收入超过20亿美元的公司制定了一个完全以AI为核心的技术战略之后。

这是来自一家拥有代币排行榜的公司的工程师的报告：

我在查看我们Go代码库的平行副本，并叫AI将整个代码库重写为Zig语言，同时我去做其他事情，仅仅是为了保住我的工作。

我特别喜欢与一家过度热情公司的怀疑高管的这段对话：

我问为什么这种行为重复却没有反对声。只是销售炒作吗？

答案更有趣。部分原因是荒谬的销售材料面向容易兴奋的观众，但这并不是限制诚实的主要因素。客户的高管们在谈论实现100倍生产力的荒谬事情，这意味着如果供应商的任何高管说这些收益不现实，将会破坏客户高管的可信度，被认为是攻击（或异端），并可能导致企业合同被取消。而仅仅因为你想就某些与公司使命无关的事情发表意见而导致企业合同被取消，是被解雇的绝佳方式。

AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making：https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decision-making/ (via：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48964185) Here's an entertaining perspective from Nik Suresh on the AI mania that is overwhelming the large companies that he consults with. It's crammed with spicy anecdotes from anonymous sources.

In one extreme case, I have seen an executive confess that they had never even used ChatGPT or any AI tool in their life, immediately after producing a technical strategy for an organisation with $2B+ in revenue which was entirely centered around AI.

Here's a report from an engineer at a company with a token leaderboard:

Checking out a parallel copy of our Go repository and telling the AI to rewrite the whole thing in Zig while I work on something else just so I can keep my job.

I particularly enjoyed this conversation with a skeptical executive at an over-enthusiastic company:

I asked why this was being repeated without opposition. Was it just sales fluff?

The answer was a lot more interesting. It was partially ridiculous sales material being delivered to an easily excitable audience, but this was not the dominant factor constraining honesty. Executives at their customers were saying absurd things about achieving 100x productivity, and this meant that if any executive at the vendor said that these gains were not plausible, it would undermine the credibility of the customer’s executive, be perceived as an attack (or heresy), and possibly result in an enterprise contract cancellation. And getting enterprise contracts cancelled because you wanted to opine on something that doesn’t really matter to your organisation’s mission is a great way to get fired.
