Should we not rely on one service to support everything?

    Amazon is laying off or has lost truly staggering numbers of experienced staff.

    So it might not be AI, although my experience with AI suggests it’s right about 60% of the time and there’s no way I would let it implement it’s own recommendations anywhere near anything that earned me money.

    It might just be cheaper, younger, newer staff making mistakes they don’t know how to fix.
