- #AI Dysfunction
- #Efficiency Era
- #Leadership Crisis
- A senior leader's desperate inquiry about measuring team success highlights a system that prioritizes output over understanding.
- A VP's reliance on AI for leadership decisions ('Leadership-by-copy-paste') exposes systemic dysfunction rather than AI being the root problem.
- AI accelerates existing leadership flaws, making incompetence more visible faster than before.
- The MIT study shows that over-reliance on AI tools leads to declines in memory, comprehension, and confidence, disengaging the brain from deep thinking.
- AI tools rewire brains to expect rewards without struggle, leaving individuals unequipped to tackle real, difficult problems.
- The Efficiency Era demands accountability and deep decision-making, contrasting with the ZIRP era's reward for sounding smart without substance.
- AI amplifies broken systems, speeding up dysfunction rather than fixing underlying issues.
- Companies misusing AI produce more unexamined output, flattening innovation and discouraging critical thinking in the name of speed.
