Charles Stross, the author ( @cstross ), posted a new blog entry on why high-level executives at companies are pushing "AI" use so strongly onto their workers, even though empirical studies show negative productivity gains:
https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2025/12/barnums-law-of-ceos.html
This may be more or less implied by what he wrote, but I would add that high-level executives aren't as likely to see the "this thing generated an incorrect answer / solution" aspect of "AI" use because being empirically correct is not as important to the things a high-level executive does. It's more important that they make decisions quickly and get things moving rather than making the correct decisions. [1]
Less charitably, top executives can't tell the "AI" is giving wrong answers, because they don't know the right answers.
[1] Of course it would be best for all if they could make the correct decision quickly, but you can't have everything. Where would you keep it?
