We’ve been hearing a lot lately about bosses who have embraced AI so much that they’ve become loose cannons — outsourcing decisions to chatbots, making erratic strategy pivots based on their feedback, and even asking them who to fire.
At the same time, other company leaders are turning against the tech. Writing for Inc, professional AI consultant and tech commentator Joe Procopio wrote that some corporate executives are getting sick of AI slop. He explains that he’s observed as a growing number of weary companies impose bans on AI use, for reasons ranging from digital security to cost-savings.
Others are just sick of all the mind-numbing workslop. As Procopio writes, one anonymous CEO got so fed up with the amount of AI-generated garbage flooding their inbox that they threatened to “fire the next person” who blasted them with an unedited email straight from ChatGPT.
Separately, Procopio observed that he caught wind of another tech CEO implementing a complete ban on AI across his entire company, the first case he’d ever heard of.
