    For any change, AI or no, why would you take out part of your existing company before confirming that the new thing works for the new role?

          In that respect, I’m rather glad my employer is on the slow and steady side. Yeah, sure, they’re very much behind on some topics and just recently started catching up on others, but their cautious scepticism towards new tech has spared us some headaches. I’d rather take the frustration of not getting all the tools I’d like to have than the stress of “ooh, look, this new shiny thing is gonna replace that other system you just got used to!”

      because for a short time this allows for wild speculation in your favour and you can collect your bonus and secure a higher paying job elsewhere before reality hits and someone else gets to clean the mess

      Often even functional companies are in effect run by rank and file people paid almost nothing who know their particular aspects of the job very well. They are managed by people who as your rank rises know less and less about the actual work that makes the company run. This works fine when nothing major changes but when you ask people incapable of doing the job to make major strategic to the enterprise that they don’t understand shockingly it goes poorly.

      Because they’re stupid and/or cheap. Remember the guys at the top usually got to their position through ass kissing or otherwise are bound to ass-kissers.
