"Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech."
Having worked at many companies in many different industries over the past few decades, it has been my experience that almost no one knows anything from the C-level to the entry level. This includes myself. We are not important cogs in the machine. The vast majority of any jobs in any business could be entirely removed and everything would continue moving forward without them. So the reason corporate America isn’t seeing any productivity gains is because you do not get a productivty increase by using AI to automate doing nothing. You’ve already reached maximum productivty by being useless and providing no value.
