It's not really that hard to implement AI as far as I can tell, even if it does produce garbage results. Any CEO that thinks otherwise is getting bamboozled.

Not that I'm defending AI, boilerplate is still boilerplate and a crappier product is a crappier product. But they'll take that trade off anyway which is why heads need to roll, lol

It's the new "promotion machine." The first manager: "I saved this company x dollars using AI, promote me." The new manager: "I increased productivity by x percent getting rid of AI, promote me." Repeat.

C) Write a highly specific, custom-tailored boilerplate generator that does 80% of the work and needs only a day or two to implement.

D) spend millions developing an AI to generate the boilerplate generator badly
