Haha, I tried to couch this by adding "too far", but I agree. Companies should let their teams try out relevant tools in their workflows.

My point was more of a response to the inflated expectations that people have about AI. The current generation of AI tech is rife with gotchas and pitfalls. Many companies seem to be making decisions with the hope that they will out-innovate any consequences.

How so? Not enough art slop logos so they don't have to pay an artist? Other than in maximizing shareholder return I fail to see how foregoing AI is putting them "behind".

AI, especially for programming, is essentially no better than your typical foriegn offshore programming firm, with nonsensical comments and sprawling conflicting code styles.

If it eventually becomes everything the proponents say it will, they could always just start using it more.
