TLDR: the business is failing to turn a profit and the AI keeps fucking up inventory, which is what happens every time this has been attempted

I'm sure it'll pan out next time
Funny because my anti-AI professor here in Sweden was interviewed about this. He's currently doing a study on how companies have successfully used AI, and the spoiler is that they have not done too well.

They seem particularly prone to failure whenever they are applied to real world environments. Probably because unlike how much tech bros want it to be, reality is not so easily boiled down to data, and AI is quite literally incapable of really understanding it.

Also, you're Swedish? Wow, I was way off. I've been thinking you're Filipino for years.

Ah I am Filipino but I just happen to be studying in Sweden right now, which is why I am taking a course on AI in management. It has not been a great course honestly, but at the very least it is trying to present a balanced view of AI.

One thing I picked up on is that everyone keeps saying that AI leads to more productivity and efficiency. But only one guest lecturer even shared about actual practical AI implementations, and they were all of the "traditional" AI variety. It was genuinely frustrating to be talking about AI regulations, hybridisation of work with AI, etc, etc without anyone actually specifying what AI is doing.
