AI isn’t failing. We are. Three years after OpenAI released ChatGPT
🔥 Trillion wasted, and we’re still blaming the tools.
🤨 But what if the real limit is those who are using it? 🙀
I spent 3 years 🗓️ studying AI applied into Software Development
The last one analyzing 130 people who built 52 unicorns.
Every single conversation circled back to the same brutal truth:
AI doesn’t fail because of technology. It fails because of who uses it... us!
⚡ The data is merciless. Digital transformation?
$2.5 trillion wasted last year. Forecast for 2027? $4 trillion.
Meanwhile, 77% of people are disengaged and underperforming...
while 38% of people in the field are burned out, broken, in and out.
And we keep doubling down on the same strategy:
🧰 buy more tools,
🤝 hire more consultants to cut costs,
💭 hope AI fixes what we refuse to face.
💡 Here’s what nobody wants to admit:
AI is a mirror. It amplifies whatever you feed it.
Elite execution? AI multiplies it 100x.
Dysfunctional chaos? AI weaponizes it at scale. 💥
The bottleneck isn’t the algorithm.
It’s the human behind the keyboard who can’t GUIDE it because
☝️ they lack the fundamentals,
✌️ the discipline and culture,
🤖 the behavioral readiness to leap on AI-augmentation.
We invested trillions in AI tools....
BUT, almost nothing in preparing humans to use them.
We expected technology to compensate for missing craftsmanship.
Instead, we got amplified mediocrity.
The noise of the culture of good enough until we got 1 penny of profit!
🔥 Three years and the pattern is undeniable:
The limit to AI-transformation isn’t artificial intelligence.
It’s human dysfunction. Broken leadership. Tolerance for mediocracy.
Until we stop being organizationally broken, socially disconnected,
and behaviorally unprepared, every AI tool we deploy will just ship
🗑️ garbage faster.
The industry finally has to admit: the problem is us.
Leaders, this is a wake up call: NOW you gotta invest in your people.
Or you won’t have people anymore in a while.
