“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product.”
How Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people: https://www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai-automation-human-workers-b3003787.html

@eric@social.coop And now it appears that they are hiring back many engineers so that they can train the AI. And fire the humans again, later?
