    What AI “decision making” does in our processes is: write the reports exactly like the procedure says they should be written, and fills them with whatever you want to hear - looking up convenient references to back up your opinions. You probably should double check the references yourself to be sure they actually exist (though I think AI is getting better at checking its own work for things like this lately) - but… yeah. Ask it once and it will give you “an opinion” that doesn’t take into account all of the factors that matter to you. So, as you explain all the factors, it also becomes obvious what you want to hear, so after several rounds the obliging AI eventually not only “sees things your way” but can pile on the BS as deep as you ask it to to back up those opinions. What would have taken days to research and write can be done in an hour or so.

      It is the ultimate corporate yes-man that they could never quite get in a human. They have built it for C-suites who have control of the money but not their own faculties.
