  • Can confirm. The pressure to use AI in the tech industry recently reached a fever pitch, right before they started to claw back its use due to the implementation of token-based billing.

    This has been a genuine mass psychosis event. I am convinced that pretty much every single manager in every IT company in the West has some degree of AI psychosis.

    They have genuinely lost their minds. My supervisor at work said that “We need to adjust the way our brains work to work more efficiently with AI”. It took every ounce of self restraint I had to not call him a fucking lunatic.

    When Google’s CEO said that AI was the “most important invention since fire” or something like that, managers, business idiots, HR and marketing people all completely believed him, and still do. The thing is, AI is really effective at automating large portions of their pretend jobs. But anybody that does actually productive labour realised AI’s limitations years ago by now, and largely fucking hate it.

    People have outsourced so much of their thinking to the bullshit generating plagiarism machine that when the bubble bursts and a bunch of these unprofitable AI companies go bankrupt (up to and including OpenAI, Anthropic, Oracle, etc) I worry that a lot of people are going to have full on mental break downs, or worse.
