Techcrunch: Tech CEOs are apparently suffering from AI psychosis

"...CEOs “play with AI,” develop a prototype, or generate a contract, to use Levie’s examples, and then make the leap to believing agents can do the work.

But these top-level executives aren’t the people who have to review code, discover bugs, and identify calls to hallucinated libraries before software is deployed. ..."

Tech CEOs are apparently suffering from AI psychosis | TechCrunch

"CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis," Box CEO Aaron Levie opines. Maybe that explains the almost religious belief in AI productivity gains.

@ai6yr Fortunately that's a problem which resolves itself very quickly. A CEO that makes bad decisions repeatedly quickly loses their company

@ai6yr

I'd like to offer another opinion. these guys really aren't that smart, would never admit to being wrong, and have a wildly inflated sense of self importance. that's a great combination to ensure they think that LLM's/AI is as amazing as they think it is (it's not) and are confused/angry when others reject their opinions.

this is never in any article about CEO's and AI probably because the outlet is afraid of a libel lawsuit. which is journalistic malpractice.

The CEO at the company I was at was this way. He got removed by the new board of directors.
His replacement was almost as bad and was actively replacing remaining employees with “AI”
