An interesting read, listing several faults of organizations, and a conclusion that is really a surprise to no one.

In short, it would be wrong to think that a tool as rational as AI, in an environment as irrational as an organization, will automatically increase efficiency the way managers hope it will. Above all, before thinking about integrating AI, managers need to ensure that their organization is not stupid (in terms of both processes and behavior).

Both are irrational, though.

Integrating machine learning (which itself is STILL a stretch even for LLMs) is absolutely a smart idea ... when used appropriately for dumb tasks that don't really matter if they screw up, or are otherwise under direction and control of a person, they make a lot of potential sense.

... attempting to replace actual employees with dumb tools marketed as intelligence ... is fucking moronic.
