We had a custom made model, running on an data center behind proxy and encrypted connections. It was atrocious, no one ever knew what it was going to do, it spewed hallucinations like crazy, it was awfully expensive, it didn’t produce anything of use, it refused to answer shit it was trained to do and it randomly leaked sensitive data to the wrong users. It was not going to assist, much less replace any of us, not even in the next decade. Instead of falling for the sunken cost fallacy like most big corpos, we just had it shut down, told the vendor to erase the whole thing, we dumped the costs as R&D and we decided to keep doing our thing. Due to the nature of our sector, we are the biggest players and no competitor, no matter how advanced the AI they use will never ever get close to even touching us. But yet again, due to our sector, it doesn’t matter. Turns out AI is a hindrance and not an asset to us, thus is life.
