AI hype and uncertainty is definitely influencing decision making, that’s for sure. If your company doesn’t have strong integrated product and architectural leadership, then managers across the company are probably grasping at straws, hoping to find some meaningful goals and ideas that stick. And lazy leaders, who traditionally rely on Gartner and similar feeds for trends and investment direction, probably think anything AI related is a safer bet than … well, anything else their underlings are proposing.

Hence the need to wrap sound decisions in a layer of AI. It’s BS, and many know it’s BS, but it seems necessary just now.

gwbasic on an XT here. Automate yourself out of that particular job. If not you, someone else probably will, or some expensive outside consultant will identify it for the chopping block. Find something of more value to do within the company, and slap an AI label on it for good measure. You are in the trenches now and you see the dysfunction… It’s likely the same company-wide, so rife with opportunity.
