    Anyone else totally surprised by this. Not the AI being shit, but that management was actually willing to quit using it.

    These guys huffing their own shit so long I’m surprised any of them come up for air to make a quality decision every so often.

        @yogthos @Sanguine

        Question is, are they going to raise their baristas as it appears they are more performant ?
        I guess they wasted the margin into the consulting company who sold them that crap.
