With token pricing increasing dramatically, AI solutions are going to be too expensive. We'll end up using real AI - another Indian.
Exactly this. CEOs are finally realizing that the moment AI stops being subsidized through subscription, its cost becomes way too high to justify. So they'll go back to the previous solution, which will be more outsourcing. Either way, we're the ones getting sc--wed.
@a8 cheeto got rid of DEI
@a8 I thought President Bigot made diversity illegal.
@a5 my Sr director thinks GitHub copilot and codex are for creating PowerPoint. 😅 I swear... these people are so stupid I am seriously shocked they are even employed let alone this high.
What ever happened to Diversity? This company was all about diversity and inclusion. This is not it
AI has been overhyped, outstandingly so. Leaders saw it as super-effective because it automated the super easy tasks they have to do. Writing. They spend trillions of tokens on writing LinkedIn slop, making dogshit powerpoints, polluting our email inboxes. Writing something is as easy as it gets (not easy for them, though; the moment they stop using AI they type in the most broken grammar imaginable).
But it's only decent at anything complicated. It needs a fair amount of human expert oversight.
Fully offshored labor won't work out, either. It will destroy the business.
Offshored engineers don't engineer. Offshore customer support doesn't support. Offshore processors won't process. They need a script to follow, a really strict script to follow. And then they'll do it at 1/3rd the pace of any highly regarded high-school graduate who just picked up the role.
