Key Points

The article argues that many companies introduce AI into operations with initial excitement and expectations of “quick wins.”
It claims that when real-world trust declines, employees stop relying on the system and the company concludes that “AI didn’t work for us.”
It argues that the AI may only have appeared to function because experienced people were actively compensating for shortcomings.
The piece concludes that AI didn’t necessarily “break” operations, but instead revealed that the underlying process was not stable to begin with.
Overall, it frames AI adoption as an organizational resilience and process-stability issue rather than a pure AI capability problem.

Seen this one a lot:

Business introduces AI into operations.

Initial excitement. Quick wins.

Then trust drops.

People stop relying on it.

Conclusion: “AI didn’t work for us.”

Reality: the system only worked because experienced people were holding it together.

AI didn’t break it.

It exposed what was never stable.
