I think C-suite's maniacal push to be early adopters of an unproven technology reveals just how bereft they are of good ideas.
Any leader with business sense would say, "Ok, we're doing good now. Let's investigate AI and see if/how it can help our business. Also, fuck no I'm not gonna go online to tell everyone what we're doing because that would only tip off our competition."
Instead, what we're seeing is a large number of C-suites thinking AI is fullfilling their wet-dream of firing everyone else and driving their stock prices to infinity by verbally masturbating in public media.
