## AI overview

The article argues that people generally do not want more AI when it arrives as disconnected features, separate tools, or imposed workflows. It links low adoption and retention to high delivery costs, reputation risks, fragmented systems, technical debt, poor data quality, and the effort required to check and correct AI-generated output. It also describes resistance and anxiety connected to fears that AI may replace work.
