We had a town hall type of thing recently with some of our investors, and some of the answers they gave were hilarious, if it weren't so depressing that those people are the ones with most of the money in this world.

The worst was the answer to the question "How can we utilize AI to greater effect in our work?". A nice open-ended question where they had a beautiful opportunity to show off how knowledgeable and forward thinking they are, right? Especially considering they're the ones behind the massive AI push our product has gone with as of late.

"You can ask it to write emails for you!" Was the one and only thing these multi-milli/billionaires could come up with. Our core product itself is literally an email interface, and we have an AI email generation feature built in...

I had to turn my webcam off because I genuinely laughed out loud at that response for how insanely elementary and useless it was as an answer. It also showed me these people do literally nothing other than answer emails - and even then they're too bloody lazy and give so little of a shit they can't even do that part themselves.
