It seems that happens to management at every company, at various strength. I swear there must be a source for all this shit, like Forbes or something.

A side note:

"... It's all hallucination.”

prone to hallucination.

No, just no.

Everything generative AI produces is a hallucination.

Some may correlate with reality, but it is still a hallucination.

I don't like how people use "hallucinations" to refer to the output of neural networks, but you know what, it is all hallucination. It's hallucination on our part, looking at arbitrary sequences of tokens and seeing meaningful text. It's pareidolia, and it's powerful.
