Comment on The employees secretly using AI at work

I think I understand why this is a double-edged sword. Most consulting companies basically invoice hours. Even a lot of software development is charged by the hour. So now empoyees use AI, come up with awesome work much faster, and all that looks like a big advantage - until you get to the end of the month and find out that you now have a lot less billable hours logged.

The bright side is that yoy can now deliver more projects - so you now have to do much more work to invoice the same as before, and all tge competition is now also delivering awesome work. It’s a race to the bottom, more stress and less money for everyone involved.

And then all those clients come back complaining, because the factual info the AI confidently provided turns out to be made up, ending up in a huge loss of money.

That’s merely a logistics problem.

The far greater issues is the fact that the AI is an external system with no guarantees of confidentiality or quality. You’re giving this system private business and technical information and getting who-knows-what in return.

Your company and your employees are still the ones on the hook for the final product so everything AI gives you still needs to be verified and vetted by people who know what they’re doing (if you’re not a complete cowboy farm).

Assuming it turns out ok you’ve not saved as much time and resources as you think, and you’ve still given away private information.

If you don’t think someone out there is going through all the private emails and proprietary code submitted to AI you’re being very naive.

This. I don’t want to be a project manager for 40 projects while AI does the actual work.
