Ford sack workers and replaced them with AI...

...then had to hire over 350 engineers to fix the quality issues caused by AI.

@perkinsy I went and read the article and for me it reinforces the thought that many CEOs are just plain stupid.

This seem like a systemic reverse-centaur: you can't build "AI-driven inspection systems" with general-purpose LLMs, you can only use LLMs then validate *their* output with other, reliable[1] methods. Whoever decided to use LLMs like that is unfit for the job.

[1] ML-based image classification, trained on a very narrow set of labeling data can be more reliable than a human. Try to achieve the same numbers with LLMs, I'll wait!

@perkinsy and basically they're hiring back the engineers to train their AI some more and then they'll take another stab at firing as many people as they see fit.

No, they are just Egoist like most of the sooo valued shareholders! Just think about the short term they are leading the company (4, 5 maybe 10 years at max)! During this time they must achieve their goals and get their bonus money! After that period of time it's not their business any more! 🤬🤮🤦🏼‍♂️
Btw: That's the main difference between large companies going for the stock markets and medium to small and owner driven businesses! 🤷🏼‍♂️
