A lot of us have seen the effects of AI tools in the hands of people who don't understand how or why to use the tools. I've already seen AI use/misuse get two people fired. One was a line-of-business employee who relied on output without ever checking it, got herself into a pretty deep hole in 3 weeks. Another was a C suite person who tried to run an AI tool development project and wasted double their salary in 3 months, nothing to show for it but the bill, fired.

In both cases the person did not understand the limits of the tools and kept replacing facts with their desires and their own misunderstanding of AI. The C suite person even tried to tell a vendor they were wrong about their own product because "I found out from AI".

AI right now is fireworks. It's great when you know how to use it, but if you half-ass it you'll blow your fingers off very easily.
