Who works at a (tech) company that's not delirious about AI? (lemmy.world)

I see a lot of discussion here about over-hyped AI, and then I see the huge AI bubble at my workplace, in news, in PR statements, etc.

Are there folks who work at companies -- especially interested in those in tech -- that have a reasonable handle on AI's practical uses and its limitations?

Where I work, there's:

a dashboard of AI usage by team and individual, which will definitely not affect performance review in any way
a mandate to use one AI tool last month, and this month a new one to abandon that tool and adopt a different one
quarterly goals where almost every one has some amount of "with AI" in it
letters from the CEO asking which teams are using AI to implement features from ticket descriptions, or (inspired by the news) use flocks of agents, asking for positives without mention of asking for negatives
a team creating a review pipeline for AI-generated output in our product, planning to review the quality of the output... using AI
teammates are writing code and designs and sending them for review without ensuring functionality or pruning irrelevant portions, despite a statement that everyone is responsible for reviewing AI output

Is all the resistance to overuse of AI grassroots and is the pressure for rampant adoption uniform among executives/investors? Or are some companies or verticals not drinking the koolaid?

At my stock brokerage we keep talking about how we can bring AI to our customers but we can't do that without the compliance dude throwing a fit about "noooooooooooooo you can't recommend trades to customers,,,, ssstttoooooooooppppp then we become responsible for their decisions guuuyyyssss" (he doesn't talk like that but it sounds like that to me)

I recently brought up the idea of using AI for trade support and giving it all sorts of tools to access internal assets and help customers fix their accounts or figure out what happened to their order,, shit like that.
