Because they’re not smart enough to realize it’s pro-AI propaganda put out by AI companies…
A new report published Tuesday from enterprise AI agent firm Writer and research firm Workplace Intelligence finds a significant share of employees are actively trying to sabotage their company’s AI rollout. The report—a survey of 2,400 knowledge workers across the U.S., the U.K., and Europe, including 1,200 C-suite executives—found 29% of employees admit to sabotaging their company’s AI strategy.

They need an excuse for why it’s not working, so they’re blaming jr workers, knowing ceos will come to the conclusion “just fire more people”.
Even the way they’re phrasing this, makes it sound like the only reason an employee doesn’t like AI, is they’re a “hater” scared of losing their job.
Do people legitimately not understand any of this? It seems incredibly obvious but this is like the 20th article I’ve and I don’t why people keep spreading this shit

I have such a situation at my work. All the top management know ai only at a level where it seems everything is possible. It’s a beautiful level, I remember being at that level, so nice.
For a while I tried to explain where the limits are, but I was dismissed as a naysayer every time.
So I adapted and decided to kind of get back on that train officially, but route most of my work to where it makes sense.

Yes, this tendency is really dangerous in my opinion.

Half the respondents are from the c-suite…
And the question asked wasn’t “are you doing this” it’s “do you believe people are doing this”.
I literally quoted it because I knew people still wouldn’t read the source, but here we are.
