I think it is generally in the best interest of companies to overstate what they are able to do with AI. Investors aren't interesting in hearing "we tried vibe coding but got tired of reviewing and fixing the trash code it produced". No, they want to hear "we've reduced our headcount by 40% while increasing customer satisfaction by 60%". Overstating AI adoption and success amplifies P/E ratios.
- candiddevmike 1y agoI wonder if investors see AI usage as some kind of reassurance that their other investments are going to make money. Basically everyone is lying through their teeth to infantilize investors that they made A Good Choice investing in nebulous AI companies. The folks that don't play the game don't get funding.
