Some people (especially in business) seem to think that adding AI to a workflow will make obviously bad ideas somehow magically work. Dispelling that notion is why articles like this are important.
(Actually, I suspect they know they’re still bad ideas, but delegating the decisions to an AI lets the humans involved avoid personal blame.)
It's a massive issue that many people (especially in business) have this "the AI has spoken"-bias.
Similar to how they implement whatever the consultant says, no matter if it actually makes sense, they just blindly follow what the AI says .
Businesses will continue to use bandages rather than fix their root issue. This will always be the case.
I work in factory automation and almost every camera/vision system we've installed has been a bandage of some sort because they think it will magically fix their production issues.
We've had a sales rep ask if our cameras use AI, too. 😵💫
