Summary
This blog post critiques the obsession of some employers with requiring the use of AI in work processes, arguing that focusing on the tools rather than the outcomes is counterproductive. It suggests that the emphasis on AI can be seen as an attempt by bosses to reassure themselves of their control and superiority over their employees, comparing modern management to historical Taylorism where efficiency was prioritized over worker expertise.
