Unrealistic AI expectations hinder progress - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Excellis Interactive

Leadership has completely lost touch with reality, particularly when it comes to AI and what it can realistically achieve within sane timelines. There’s a constant push to “do more with AI” without any grounding in actual design effort, tradeoffs, or limitations. Deadlines are set arbitrarily and treated as if we’re delivering life or death systems. Management deflects responsibility and blames others. There’s also a severe lack of trust. Product direction is bottlenecked by the CEO and VP-level leadership, who insist on approving nearly every feature. This creates unnecessary delays, undermines product and designer, and signals a fundamental lack of confidence in the people hired to do the job.
