AI vs Your Boss: The Hidden Cost & Storytelling Secrets
AI won’t replace managers’ judgment
Flattening management into AI “owners” ignores what managers do: reduce chaos, preserve institutional knowledge, mentor, and apply judgment amid imperfect AI. Job destruction may be real but slower, with AI-driven renewal competing.
AI replaces guidance, not human stakes
AI can deliver facts and averages, but fails at problems needing context-shift judgment (conflict, substance issues, brainstorming). The farther tasks move from prediction, the more performance regresses toward the mean.
AI bills are metered; ROI lags
Enterprise AI cost behaves like electricity—usage grows with adoption—so “use AI everywhere” quietly drives spend. Even with compute price drops, integration, security, and change costs mean fewer firms see significant ROI.
