Box CEO warns about AI psychosis among tech executives

Aaron Levie, CEO of Box, has issued a direct warning: many tech executives suffer from AI psychosis. They believe artificial intelligence can already replace human jobs without assistance, but the reality is different. This illusion leads to mass layoffs and productivity promises that are not reflected in real data, affecting jobs and services for citizens.

Current AI doesn't work without expert supervision 🤖

Today's generative AI technology requires constant supervision by human experts to avoid costly errors. Models hallucinate data, generate insecure code, and need manual tuning for specific tasks. Promising 300% productivity based on these tools is a fantasy. Companies that lay off qualified staff thinking AI covers everything often face drops in service quality and the morale of remaining teams.

The CEO who thinks their AI is employee of the month 😂

Watching an executive lay off half a department because their chatbot wrote an email without typos is almost poetic. Then, when the chatbot recommends putting glue on pizza or invents sales figures, the same executive wonders why customers complain. The next trend will be asking the AI to coach the remaining employees. Hopefully, it has a good sense of humor.
